Thanks for RSVPing with a %. I hope you can make it. &, don't worry if
you can only make it for part of the time. There are no particular time
requirements for attendance - anyone can come for as much or little of
the event as they desire.

That was me (the person who's organizing this) who mentioned ACCRC.

On the positive hand, it's a great place, James Burgette(sp?) who runs
it is a great guy, they help reuse equipment which is good
environmentally & socially, and IIRC, they already have volunteers
coming down each weekend to help with refurbishing, & they have (slow by
Jim's statement) inet access.

On the negative hand, I really want to make this event easily accessible
to especially students.  During the recent "installfest for schools"
there, I announced the event to UCB students, & at least one who
attended (& was glad he did) told me it was time wise very taxing
getting down & back without a vehicle.

My conclusion based on all the facts so far: Have it on or very close to
UCB campus, not down at ACCRC.

ps: I'm working to get a campus sponsor, & a campus location, this week.
 I'll have a post or two to this list about that in a day or two.
