A template [16] for meeting wiki has been created.
MeetingProcedure [17] describes what needs to be done for each
meeting.
MEETING VENUES
Venues should:
* Provide easy access via common modes of transport.
* Be in the populous central of Melbourne. This is regarded as being
further towards the east of the city. The reason is of course so that
the distance travelled by most members is minimised.
* Allow us to hold our meetings in the format which suits us. At the
moment this means the venue should:
* Be congenative to talking amoungst members during designated
breaks.
* Have both indoor and outdoor areas to afford protection from the
weather, while allowing the demonstration of large equipment.
* Have seating capacity for at least 50% of attending members. Most
people can cope with not being seated during demonstrations and
presentations, but people are more comfortable when seated.
* Have sutiable accoustics to allow attendees to hear presentations
without requiring the use of amplification.
* Have a reasonable amount of power and table space available to
allow attendees to:
* Demonstrate equipment (but not to sit idle and waste valuable
space).
* Participate in group testing.
* Sell equipment or services, by prior arragement with WGMeetings
[18].
* Have an area that can be set aside as a "stage". It is desirable
for this area to have:
* A camera, projector and screen, to allow all members visibility of
intricate demonstations.
* A public address system (preferably with a wireless microphone)
* Sufficient lighting control to allow lighting of the stage on its
own.
For a list of venues, see MeetingVenue [19].
