Informal Linux Meetings

[Mathisha]

Nope. Coffeeline is further up university ave and closes by 4:30pm. From what I've noticed there would have to
be a significantly large crowd consistantly coming there for Coffeeline to stay open. If its going to be
informal mettings for the east Oahu crowd I think net cafes might be it. No organizing efforts needed like
cleaning up, opening buildings/rooms etc. For evening stuff I think Coffee cove like set up is best. (they
have a nice bunch of couches to sit around). Another spot for informal meetings that stay open late (off the
top of my head) is Coffeetalk on Waialie ave (spel?) in Kaimuki (open till midnight I think) and they have net
access. Hope it won't go on too late specially for those who have to wake up early ;) If all else fails
there's Zippies :)
