Both changes are fine with me.
metoo.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Me too. The proposed are fine.
sure
Hmm. December 24th. No, I don't think that woudl be a convenient date.
OK with me.
Is that a traditional style of living ? people don't like to work hard during the week of the Thanksgiving ? and the Christmas ? Why is it not convenicent on 11/26 or 12/24 ? that's sounds like anything can't be done on these two days, it's really ridiculous.
I don't know about other board memeber, but will most definately not be in town on december 24. I don't know about Nov 26, I'd have to check. I suspect quarum would be hard to achieve. Prior engagements, and all that.
I would think that most people are either in route to either relatives firend or families are actually PREPARING for the holiday festivies. And for some catholics, 12/24 is more of a holiday than 12/25.... at least in my families tradtion....where we usually fast but prepare for festivities that come after midnight mass... and we are usuaully talking big party. .,
where is the meeting held?
"at a location to be announced", but lately the normal place has been in ITI's cafeteria (in Ann Arbor). Grex doesn't have its own facilities.
where is iti? and what is the pumpkin?
Well, actually I haven't seen the pumpkin, but my impression is that it wouldn't be a reasonable place for a board meeting. But yes, we rent space to house hardware, & I guess that's "facilities". Here are directions to ITI, pasted in from an old coop item (previous incarnation of coop, I mean). I didn't write them, mind you. Directions to ITI: Take US-23 to the Washtenaw Ave. exit (exit 37B). This puts you on Washtenaw Ave, going West. Turn right onto Huron Parkway. This winds and twists for quite a while. Turn right on Hubbard, then make your first possible left into ITI (which has a hard-to-read silver sign out front). Watch out for handicap parking spaces when you park -- there are a lot of them. Inside ITI, go straight back to the funky toys in the lobby. Turn left, and the cafeteria is ahead and to the left. On Huron Parkway, if you reach Plymouth Road, you've gone too far. Another way to ITI is to take US-23 to the Plymouth Road exit. Go West on Plymouth Rd, to Huron Parkway. Turn left onto Huron Parkway. Hubbard comes up pretty quickly from that side of town; turn left onto Hubbard and then take the first possible left to get to ITI.
coming from washtenaw, hubbard is the third traffic light after turning onto huron parkway. coming from plymouth, hubbard is the first traffic light.
(The Pumpkin is the room that currently houses the assorted computer equipment that makes up Grex. It is so named because the walls are a rather pumpkinish orange, and have vines painted on them.)
I thought the vines were painted after it was named for the color on the walls.
Yeah, the vines were a later addition. First the colour, then the name, then the additional paint job. (I've never actually seen this mythical paint job either. Perhaps a pilgrimage would be in order.)

Hey, I value my innocence, Valerie! 8-{)]
(Unfortunately, the web page is fairly unhelpful without something better than
lynx. The only descriptions of the pumpkin, from the POV of its feasibility
as a meetingplace (which is the excuse for drifting into this) are "small"
and "windowless" ... plus the amount of stuff, mostly electronic & probably
noise-&-heat-producing, currently occupying that small space.)

Cool.

i mention the pumpkin and they get the tour? something smacks of favortism here.
(Valerie has made similar offers (to me, anyway) going at least as far back as the dungeon. She's usually made such offers pretty generally, I think. (OTOH, I'm not inclined to complain if I am the beneficiary of favoritism.))
i may be sorry i asked but 'the dungeon'?
This response has been erased.
The move from the dungeon to the pumpkin was definitely a step up. The dungeon was in the basement of a residential house. The pumpkin is a small room on the first floor of a commercial building about 3 blocks away. It is small, but larger than the dungeon.
You have several choices:
