RMIT Capitol Theatre

[Chris Higgins]

RMIT Captiol Theatre might be worth checking out as a venue.  It's in the heart of the city, only two blocks from Flinders Street station, and seats 600.  Website says it's been recently renovated.

While we're at it, is there any way we can reply to topics within the Google group?  It seems a touch unproductive to have to wait for topics to be e-mailed to us the following day before we can reply to them.  The help section says this function is available, but it appears to be switched off for this particular group.

You should be able to opt for as-it-happens emails, So you dont recieve a digest or a bunch of emails every evening.
Just head over to http://groups.google.com/group/wordcamp-melbourne/subscribe and change it to 'Email'

But yes, Email from web would be nice to enable.. not that I'd use it.

I've got connections at RMIT - so I'll see what I can do. We might not have to pay for it, but regardless - it would be great to have something central.

I know LUV meets at Melbourne Uni - so we could go that direction as well, but I love RMIT as it's so central.

That would be great if you can get an RMIT venue gratis!

From memory, both RMIT & Melb Uni hire venues free to students/faculty. I know for Melb Uni though the event had to either be for the University or something that "raised the profile" of the uni.
