That's what I was thinking. There are express GO buses that fan out from
here (as in, right at the door here) to as far as Hamilton, Newmarket and
Oshawa using hwy 407 (every 15 minutes to/from Square One). They run late
enough so that someone coming to a DUG meeting can still use those buses to
get home. And we may also be able to attract some newcomers from the York
and Seneca CS students on campus.

But it's certainly not the regular downtown venue; the nearest phở
restaurant is half a kilometer away. :-)

Maybe there are some folks on the list who would be keen on having meetings

Might be worth an experiment in the spring. But I responded now in case
there wasn't any downtown space available for March.
