If, hypothetically speaking, Boston.com couldn't host meetings any more,
can anyone think of a suitable backup location? It might be worth having
a backup venue to work with.
What criteria would we want for a backup? I can think of a few points:
* a room that can regularly accomdate 25 people or so, and can
occasionally handle 50 or 75.
* a projection screen, or at least a white wall
* accessible by T and, ideally, with parking available as well
* a reasonably central location would be nice, but then [a] having
T access kind of implies central, but then [b] parking availability
kind of implies suburbs; prioritize as you will.
My hunch is that perks like pizza & beer would be nice to have but
difficult to find.
Wi-fi might be another good perk. For some talks, having network access
for at least the speaker might be handy.
I think a classroom would be ideal, if anyone had connections to a local
school that would be willing to grant us occasional access to one...
