I will be including this in the October kwlug-announce post, but
wanted to give kwlug-disc members a heads up. For the next few months
(and maybe longer) we will be moving the KWLUG in-person meeting
location to the Davis Centre Library at the University of Waterloo
(instead of the Dana Porter library, where we were meeting before).
I wrote up the new meeting location here: https://kwlug.org/node/1455

Thanks to Lori for helping get our meeting room changed (and for
hosting us at UW). 

The Dana Porter library location was not bad, but that library now
closes at 9pm, which makes timing of our meetings awkward. There were
a bunch of ways we could have resolved this (starting earlier,
shortening the meeting time, scheduling only one topic per meeting,
moving to Builders Club) but as an unelected autocrat who has gone
mad with power I figured this change would be the least headachy. If
all goes well this room change will work out okay for the LUG; if it
is a disaster then maybe (hopefully?) I will be overthrown in a
military coup. 

Questions for the adoring masses:

- Are the directions to the new space clear enough?
- I know that parking has been an issue at UW. Have there been
  in-person attendees who have been driving there? Does this room
  change make your parking situation better or worse?
- What other comments about the in-person meeting space(s) do you
  have?

Thank you for your attention to this matter!!

- Paul
