[ale] Re: [ale-admin] new meetings at KSU

[Dow Hurst]

I know people on campus are excited about the new meeting place here at
KSU.  My two cents is name each new ALE location after the location.  So
we have

ALE-Emory
ALE-KSU

now we need

ALE-Hartsfield

for the new security subgroup ;-)

Seriously, as Atlanta grows and traffic grows more impossible, we should
think about splitting the area into reachable subsections and build from
there.  Atlanta is plenty big enough to support subsections with main
events like the Installfest to be attended by all.
