Well, actually I find the current location really unfriendly for Public
Transport.  Couldn't we have our techy talks at Melbourne uni in a
lecture theatre or something?  I recall that that is what L.U.V does.
Then for meetings where it's just a meeting of the minds - no formal
talk, we could still easily go to lygon St.
