Except if you are a sausage...

While it is on the southern end of the Metro area, I know the Kwinana Arts Centre has an outdoor amphitheatre and indoor theatres. It also is extensively wired with Cat5, and has a coffee shop in an internet cafe area which would be suitable for an installfest.

The manager is keen to make use of the facilities whenever possible, and is quite keen on Linux. He is not charging us for the use of the area for our Wednesday evening Linux sessions (2 down, 2 to go), and I don't think it would cost us to have the Installfest there.

I'm not blinkered to the KAC, but I know the facilities are available and modern.

Food for thought.

Garry.
