Excuse me - *I* am not charging 60 bucks - the hotel we meet at charges
that. And this has been the charge for *every* meet we have had so far,
and we have *never* had less than 50 members attending. And *all* members
voted for this hotel because it is convenient, the food is excellent and
the location is central.

Let's try and keep things in perspective here - hotels do not really care
about whether Linux is free or not.

BTW - this message got me seriously riled - mail me privately about such
things and get a clarification before triggering things off this way.
