[Cialug] LUG meeting - @ Inplay?

[Barry Von Ahsen]

I think rotating is a good idea.  There are people that haven't shown 
since we moved from Urbandale, and there are groups that didn't show 
until we moved - it's all about convenience.  There's probably another 
group that would show up if we met in Ankeny, Altoona, the 
south/southwest side, etc.  If we held a north Ankeny meeting, we could 
probably even draw some folk from Ames since they're not holding 
meetings anymore, AFAICT
