Well, I hope you don't mind a reply by email then...

PLUG has been using the OSWA demonstration center for quite a while
now for our monthlyish seminars.

<my personal opinion> It's well set up location for seminars, and it
often also has free Ubuntu/TheOpenCDs as well. It's also great to be
able to use a venue that is designed for open source use, rather than
the other, more random locations PLUG has used in the past. It's also
close to my house. :-)</opinion>

I'm assuming you meant the 'opensourceWA bandwagon' rather than the
'opensource bandwagon'?
