Yes and no.  No in that it's nothing to do with Melbwireless _officially_.
Yes in that it affected a bunch of people who went to the last meeting and
might be reluctant to repeat the experience.  Myself, I'll just put it
down to a) greed on the part of Booroondara Council for not putting up
adequate signage for such an unusual parking restriction and b) me not
looking hard enough for said signage (and I did look when I parked).

If we're there again next meeting we can put up our own signs to remind
people,  I guess.  Moving right along...

Very much agreed.  My reward for the work I put in will hopefully be a
community wireless network covering Melbourne and beyond, plus a bunch of
new friends and a lot of fun had.

Unless there's a _very_ good reason for collecting membership fees (and I
haven't heard one yet) I'm not really up for that.  Passing the hat around
works for meeting room hire.  "Bring your own" works for BBQs.  Mailing
lists and web sites find homes of their own accord.

Ad-hoc _doesn't_ work for carrier licences, for example, but we're nowhere
near that at this stage, if we even ever go there.
