@dan If expenses are met by you we should have a whip around so that you're not left out of pocket

I'm happy for an optional Patreon style membership. Pay what you want style. Like, quid a month or more or less or whatever.

If geeks ends up making money we can always use it for more interesting events, shared tech?

It would also help pay for domain/hosting.

i'm sure most of the members would be willing to give a small regular donation. 179 members on the slack. 50p a month from half the members is over £40 a month. You could do some cool stuff with that. I'm sure some members would be willing to give more.

Heck, I'm a cheapskate and even I'd be willing to give a small regular donation for my use of the slack to help keep me sane when working from home. Wonder if I could claim that as a business expense? Professional membership maybe?

my main concern is that it'd be a bunch of work to set up and maintain for not much value

I'd be more up for it if we had a goal and it cost more money that I'm willing to drop on it
[5:14]
but so far the expense are pretty negligible

We are a growing community and we don't know that there will be a good free venue in the future forever. Better safe than sorry. #teamDan is a winning team.

Also, Vertigo is a bit shit :stuck_out_tongue: Lack of projector or screen or wall for a projector and tiny...

It's fine for now

But we might outgrow it.
