[ug-atlosug] Proposal to change the time for future ATLOSUG meetings

[Benjy Thomas]

I would attend more meetings if they were held closer into Atlanta.
Alpharetta is a very long way to travel, but the Perimiter is a great
middle ground (I went when it was hosted at Georgia Tech, but haven't
made it out to Alpharetta yet).

Location aside, having meetings after work is much more convenient
that holding them from 3 - 5. To make a 3:00 meeting, I'd have to
leave a little after 2, which blows the whole afternoon. Even if one
blocks out the ATLOSUG meeting on their schedule early enough, there
are still a lot of standing project meetings that happen in the 2:30
to 4:30 timeframe.

Thanks,
Benjy
