Hi all,
I just joined this list as a result of someone forwarding me the
above message. I sent the following e-mail on to Anthony, but now
that I've joined the list, I thought you all might want to contribute
some input:

Hi Anthony,
My name is Paul Lussier. Don Leslie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) forwarded
me an e-mail I assume you sent out to the Boston pm list (of which
I'm not yet sub'ed to :) stating your desire for a location to meet.
I'm currently the chairman of the Nashua Chapter of the Greater N.H.
Linux User's Group (GNHLUG, chapter name is MELBA (Martha's Exchange
Linux Beer Assoc. :)
We meet the 4th Wednesday of each month at Martha's Exchange on Main
Street in Nashua. GNHLUG has a *very* good relationship with
Martha's, and I know the owners quite well.
If a brew-pub is an acceptable location for the non-Boston PM group
to meet, I'm sure I can arrange it with the folks at Martha's to
allow us to use their function room on a different night than the
GNHLUG/MELBA meetings.
Usually the GNHLUG/MELBA meetings are at 19:00 with a group meeting
beforehand, around 17:30-18:00 or so for dinner/drinks. Then we head
upstairs to the function room for a meeting from 19:00-21:00 or so.
Afterwards, some of us usually hang out downstairs in the pub for
either more beer or coffee (since most of need to drive home:)
Other than leaving the room cleaner than we found it, there are no
restrictions on using the room. Martha's doesn't charge us (yet)
so we try to bring some decent business for them on the nights we
have meetings, which is why we usually meet beforehand for dinner.
Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Seeya,
Paul
