Roboteers:

I've noticed that we've had more people showing 
up for the meetings and in some cases they end up 
standing in the back when there are plenty of chairs.

I would like to ask that if you do arrive early 
that you please make use of all available space 
up front and try to arrange the chairs so we have 
maximum seating capacity.

So if you arrive and there is room, please try 
and use the tables and chairs closer to the front 
allowing the late-comers a place to sit when they come in.

Thanks! :)

Vern

Presented for group discussion:


All available chairs were put out and arranged at 1830 hrs.

In order to catch what is going on during the 
BASIC Stamp II sig, folks need to sit behind the 
table on which Donovan has the projector set up.

I notice that folks with laptops tend to sit 
along the back, nearer to an AC power 
outlet.  Some might be enticed to perch closer to 
the front if we provide another (perhaps, longer) 
power strip that folks can tap into.

Tables along the left side (as you face the 
screen) are not very useful since everyone has 
their chair backs against the tables in order to 
see the speaker / screen / presentation.  We 
might consider stacking those to make more room 
to sit and maneuver between the attendees ... 
less reason for later arrivees to herd about, 
standing in the rear of the room or in the hallway.

Consider, too, a 'floor sign' (ala, DANGER Wet 
Floor!) that could be stored in the kiln room and 
placed in the hallway before each meeting ... The 
Robot Group meeting this-a-way ----->.

Of course, the downside to all of this is that 
someone(s) have to be there even earlier to do 
the setup.  Some of these someones would have to 
get on the road even earlier than normal (cutting 
eating, employment, family time shorter).  In the 
event that one or more of these someones are 
vacationing, ill, boycotting or otherwise 
unavailable, it is back to square one.
