I can probably pull some strings and get a room on campus, I'll be able 
to check on Monday and report back. Won't be as nice as the last one but 
  a room none the less.

My suggestion for the meeting though is a different format and topic.
I think it would be cool to do a round table about laptop shopping for 
linux. Have several people talk about what hoops they jumped through to 
find what they needed, what they got and what they think of their purchase.

Anyone whose got a laptop recently or was on the thread a few weeks ago 
would be good to tell their story.
I would love to hear about:
Dell Linux
ZaReason (Asus)
Rcubed (Asus)
System76
Thinkpads
Eeepc
OLPC

I personally am in the market for a laptop and it's seems to have come 
up in conversation with a lot of people in various circles recently so 
might be a good slightly less formal topic.
