And here's a bonus for working room scheduling through a unified place: people have a definitive place to find out what's going on. If 3 groups are contending for the same space, then clearly people aren't or can't keep up with things and we probably need to improve our announcements of events.<br>

here's an entry from the current wiki events list:<br>
"15:00 Linux system administration study group in the<br>
Turing classroom."<br>
<br>
i vote for one place for info, and the wiki seems<br>
the right place. can't we add an admonition to those<br>
who are about to create an entry that they include<br>
the time, classroom, title, format..., maybe in the<br>
form of some headings?<br>
if we'd like info on the touch screens, let's<br>
blindly import whatever's on the wiki and fix it on<br>
the wiki if it's wrong (then re-import).<br>
