UW may provide the rooms, but parking is an issue. When the KW Unix group
met there,
many of them worked at RIM (now Blackberry), and RIM had offices on
Columbia and
allowed us to park there. After Blackberry leaving the building, there was
no parking,
and tickets were issued.

So, I don't think that UW is a suitable location.

Among the options Paul mentioned, Queen St seem the most promising. Either
the
main location or across the street, in the upstairs room with a projector
which the
Drupal group uses, thanks to Charles.

The latter will be tight if attendance is on the high side, but maybe
moving the
speaker forward and having more chairs will solve this.

Worth a shot.
