This comment is intended as a parent post for talking about possible locations. For reference:
We have met at Westwood Brewing Company a few block south of UCLA.
We have met at Platt Campus Center on campus at Harvey Mudd.
We have met at an IHOP about a mile from UC Irvine.
I think the center of mass of people who are likely to attend (excluding people from San Diego) is somewhere around Anaheim.
Suggests and comments from people who know the los angeles metropolitan region better than I do (or whose attendance is conditional on the location being closer than X to them, for a small value of X) are appreciated!
If there's no better basis for choosing than the most convenience for the most people, my vote is for the IHOP near UCI, which is super-convenient for me. If it's there, I could come; if not, I'd very likely have to miss it.
I'll make a weak vote for the IHOP near UCI. It's easy to get to, has free parking, and seemed to work reasonably well for the last meetup.
Would you be able to attend at other locations if a ride were available?
Possibly, but probably not. I have a young baby at home, so I can't be away for very long. The issue for me isn't transportation availability, but transportation time. I live about a mile from the IHOP.
I've made an inquiry about a room at Chapman University in Orange, not far from Anaheim. If and when I hear more, I'll post.
My first thought in that area was a conference room at the Cerritos municipal library. It's a surprisingly nice location, but they charge, and I think the rates are unnecessarily high:http://menu.ci.cerritos.ca.us/cc_fees.html
Very cool! Even if we don't end up there this month there's a good chance that a meetup will happen there within a couple months.
There are enough people in the region between Santa Barbara and San Diego that I suspect that eventually (as people come out of the woodwork based on probabilistic exposure to one or another meetup announcement) we can have several smaller cozier "local meetups" plus larger region wide meetups near the center of our collective mass... which could easily end up near Chapman :-)
Chapman officially will not work for this weekend, but remain open to inquiries in the future. preferably with as much lead time as possible.
I'm reminded that "Southern California" is really big, in terms of just plain area. Thanks for all your effort.
Does anyone have a preference besides the IHOP? If not, it seems we can declare a consensus.
I'm calling it then. I made a reservation for 8 to 25 people at the IHOP starting at 3:30PM. We get the upstairs again!
Great! I'll be there with p ≈ 0.9.
