[Noisebridge-discuss] Question about hosting a KDE party at the space?

[Celeste Lyn Paul]

Hmm.. So we were proposing Monday night not Tuesday night, so you
don't have to worry about it conflicting with the membership meeting.
For a Monday night event, I'm proposing KDE sponsor-a-day for Monday
4-April and hold our event at 8PM to minimize disruption to the
earlier event. I'm not in San Francisco, so how can I bring this up to
the membership meeting?

Thanks for the help!
