future location for BMore Hackers, ETC is too much a pain in the ass

[PatrickRoanhouse]

So I'm in the ETC main conference room right now. It's Thursday July
23rd at 6:16pm. I had to wait for people to leave and ask them to help
me get up to the third floor with their key passes to get in. This is
not the first time this has happened, and I bet it will far from be
the last.

If you read this and are outside the Thursday the 23rd to talk about
Xcode there are entrances i believe in the parking garage on the
higher levels which I could let you in. But if not please lets figure
out a better way of doing this. ETC is a pain if we are not meeting
during normal biz hours. I'm in the main conference room. If you are
here and get this message call my cell at 443 762 0166.

Again I repeat I feel we should look into other locations that are
open to the general public.

Regards,

Patrick Roanhouse

Patrick,

We made arrangements to have the doors and elevators unlocked on
Monday evenings. You would not have had a problem if it had been on
Monday.

We can coordinate to have the place open on Thursdays too, but we need
to plan for that in advance. I apologize that I was out of town this
week and unable to coordinate that.

Best,
Dave

Yeah, ultimately I just waited too long to call Val.  She had already left when I called at 4:45.  We'll be fine here next week and on.

For what it's worth, there are 7 of us here now hanging out in the hallway.  Give me a call (586.873.3258) if you need to get up.

FYI, I just sent a note to Val at the ETC asking if they could change our night from Monday to Thursday.  I'll let you know when I hear back.

I have been able to reserve the conference room for Thursdays and arranged to have the doors open late for us.  There are a couple of Thursdays on which they will not be able to accommodate us.  Those dates are 8/6 (which is next week), 9/10, 12/3, 12/10.

Dave, would it be possible to use the Beehive on those dates?  And will you be able to make it out again soon?  fyi, there was talk of looking into OpenGL after we work through the Obj C + iPhone sessions...
