[Steering Committee] Fwd: [okcCoCo] Your help is required now in order for us to continue

[Chad Gorshing]

I've asked Sonic is they would be willing to host the JUG (they have a
large conference room on the first floor) and their response was:

"I think that it is a great idea and we should look into it."
"This would be great. I'm all for it"

There are some problems though - needless to say if something of higher
priority comes up then we would need to find another location. There is
another room that will hold ~25 people though. Their response was: Sonic
would try and "reserve to room for several months out. There is always a
chance there could be a Sonic training class of function which of course
they would have priority over the room"

Also they said:
"We allow them to bring in food but it is slightly frowned upon." - They do
have a cafe on the fourth floor where people could purchase food (similar
to what Hertz has - cheaper food and pretty good - I eat there quite often).

It goes with out saying that Sonic would like to be recognized during the
meeting since they are providing the location. The response I got was
"Also, if  JUG sends out announcements to members of upcoming meetings, it
would be nice to note that the meeting is hosted by Sonic. That way it
shows that Sonic is trying to support the JUG community by allowing the
group to have meetings onsite."

I think it would be an ideal location as it is centralized and a very well
known area (I'm assuming).

Let me know what I should do, should I push forward and get the room
reserved well in advanced or should I decline as you all are looking at
another location?
