I'll second Richard's suggestion to approach Arts Court/Art Engine in that case.

park for attending ModLab gatherings; I live in Barrhaven)

Great discussion so far. Here's my 2 cents:
I haven't been out to meetings for some time in part because of the
meeting location.
As John said, booking a new location is lots of work. When I served
on the board I tried and failed to find a good alternate venue. Maybe
it's worth revisiting the

Then you alienate people in the east end and centretown. Travelling to
Algonquin from Gatineau is going to take me ~1 hour, each way, IF I catch
my connections. Heading downtown is 25 minutes at most. That's what not to
like.

Thanks to at least 2 people who have offered to serve. That is encouraging.
Locations: From a personal perspective, I support a central meeting location.
However,
I'll repeat my call for concrete suggestions (location, cost, amenities?). I
don't think
there's any opposition to the idea of

Wow, this discussion eggsploded. I was going to respond to a whole bunch of
the posts but I decided to start with one post. It's not a very refined
post as it's basically the core dump that I would have used to create all
my responses. Probably less work for everyone to just see the coredump:

Below is the proposed agenda for the 2012 AGM. There are two important
items that we ask members to think about in advance.
1) Nominations
For whatever it's worth, my involvement would be increased if the location
were more centralized. I don't know about others, but travelling from Hull
to Algonquin has a limited appeal.
Also, a hackathon sounds pretty interesting. I've been toying with the idea
