You Can NEVER please everyone, the best thing to do is to find a venue that is easiest for the person organising the meet to get to, at least then that person can make it, I agree we should not fragment the list, but that does not stop people who live near each other from perhaps working on ideas at a local level, which is what myself, tom B and rob b are trying to do. if you all live near a community centre or similar then you can form or join a friends group, as friends groups raise money for equipment etc, so with your expertise and help from the lug you could for example help set up a computer suite, or just one computer.
