Okay, to follow up with results of my poll (now that several days have gone by and new responses have tailed off):
21 people responded who (selection bias) all thought PLUG living into the future was important. 15 of 21 said they were ready to return to in-person meetings 5 of 21 said "maybe" 1 of 21 said "no" (not ready to return to in-person meetings 5 of 21 said they could help recruit speakers! the rest were lame-o's (just teasing!) 11 of 21 said that location was important to them 10 of 21 said that location was not important to them There were 13 responses to the free-form location "constraints" question: 2 of the 13 basically said "I can't make it because of conflicts" of the remaining 11, they said a combination of this (I'm paraphrasing/lumping a little): 2 people preferred the west side, one of which went further to eschewed downtown; 3 people said they preferred a central location; 3 people said they desired convenient parking; 5 people specifically desired good public transportation. I made some exploratory overtures about a particular downtown location, but it's looking rather a longshot at the moment (still no replies). Given an actual in-hand venue and no obvious alternatives at the moment (unless someone has other suggestions), I propose we try out Michael's location and go from there. How do people feel about that? -- Russell Senior [email protected] On Thu, Nov 3, 2022 at 3:18 PM Russell Senior <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks! > > I'm interested in getting a virtual show of hands on who is ready to start > meeting in person again and who isn't.
