Hi All
Hoping this email might find some people that might be able to help us
(or at least people that might be able to pass this on).
A few of us went up to Brisbane last night to look at the Brisbane
Hackerspace. We were just blown away by what they have done up there.
It's still pretty rough around the edges, but that's the beauty of

these CMSs interesting so move in these circles a little. They've been
doing a few sucessful meetups and were thinking of organising an extra
meeting on the Gold Coast. Any of you guys interested?

I was just talking to someone at Gold Coast Library (Southport) - they

Seats up to 30, has a whiteboard and they also have wireless. Is only
available during Library hours - which means Thursday night is the
only week night that would be possible.
