Not a problem; most pubs in Massachusetts will still admit under-21 folks. They usually don't ask for ID unless you order alcohol. > But yes, Paul, go ahead, organise it.

Couple things: * The meeting is listed on the FUDCon page as if it's open to the public. If it's not, it probably shouldn't be mentioned there. * The meeting looks like the most interesting part of FUDCon :-) My impression is it's where policy for the future of the development effort of Fedora will be laid out (as opposed to Friday where the technologies in the distro will be discussed.) As part of an open community project, I'd expect this to be open to public viewing. OTOH, I could be totally off-base about what'll go on there... it's a bit hazy with just the teaser on the FUDCon Page. > There's definitely some fun on Friday night :) Very true :-) -Toshio -- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

They are aware that some of those attending will be under 21, so will check IDs when alcohol is ordered (not at the door). They have a decent menu, so it's good for dinner as well as drinks.
