Good evening 2600 folk.
I want to hear some opinions on moving the meets.

I dislike HSL for 2 reasons:
1) it's far out of the way
2) it's taken over presently by the young makers every first friday

I want to move us to either Lux or Grand Central Coffee in down town phoenix.

Any objections?

Regards,

--joe

No objections, but for me HSL is less than ten minutes away. That being said, I don't mind driving if we find a good location.

However, to adhere to the 2600 way and facilitate an open discussion I'd love to hear answers to the following:
  • Where are these places located (provide Google Maps links)?
  • Is there plenty of nearby, free parking available?
  • Do we have approval from a manger/owner to meet there?
  • Is it quiet enough we can have discussions and if we end up being loud will that be a problem?
  • How well are these locations equipped to handle presentations?
  • The PHX2600 curse seems to have resulted in most (every?) coffee shop we've met at closing down. What's the likely hood of these places being around long-term?
These are all things that have gone into consideration when picking locations in the past.

Awesome, spread the word: The July meeting will be at Lux Central. We will gather feedback and re-evaluate sometime after the meeting.

I'm bummed that HSL isn't working out for 2600, but completely understand the reasoning.

I'll take the event off of our calendar, but want y'all to know you're welcome back anytime.

Thanks Nate. Go ahead and remove the July meeting but don't remove any others yet. Next moth is our evaluation month then we'll have another discussion to determine if we want to move things permanently.

For what it's worth if it were up to me I'd keep our meetings at HSL, I think it was truly one of the best venues for us. However, we're a community driven by the members and if the majority would like it otherwise I'm not going to complain.

So I just received this email today:

Hello
I am reaching out to you in regards to our Client, Coder Camps, they are interested in Phx2600 and would like to sponsor you. In addition, we were wondering if you would consider hosting your events here on our campus. Our address is 8444 N 90th St #115, Scottsdale, AZ 85258. We have a fairly large campus for events and we would love to host them for you on our campus. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions!
Thank you

Afton Moran
Marketing Assistant
Blue Anvil



I don't think we need any sponsorship in terms of money (but hey, some pizzas might be nice) and I'm not sure what the official 2600 stance is on sponsorship (it's not really mentioned in the guidelines), but if they're willing to host us that could be nice. Also, if we don't end up sticking with Lux I'm not sure this would be any better than HSL, perhaps we could try meeting there in August. What's everyone's opinion on this matter?

Pizza's cool too.

The thing i would be most concerned about is them trying to dictate what we can and can't talk about while being affiliated with them. I remember this being a problem at UAT with possibly a different group? dc602 maybe? they were all about us meeting there at first but when people started presenting stuff they got upset. Just something to think about.

I think UAT would be a problem. I'd just be glued to the glass of that one room.... you know which one...

Yea. Sponsorship is not free. 

On the other hand, I am totally down with a place that serves beverages like LUX.. it's just a little farther. However, considering it seems like an appropriate gathering hole, I could venture that direction on Fridays. 

How's the parking there?
