[ale] marietta ALE meetings: update

[Lightner, Jeff]

For most things I've gone to there isn't any network connectivity - the
presentations are done from laptops using an attached projector.  So
you'd need a screen and a projector I'd think.  I don't know if the
presenters always use their own laptop (at AUUG it seems they do).   

The old NW meetings I attended seemed to have maybe 10-12 people when I
went just before they stopped.  

Jerald Sheets might have a better idea of average attendance since he
was the one running the show then.   He might also have suggestions for
what is needed.

Out of curiosity, what would the requirements be on a venue?  Size? 
Connectivity?  Access?  I've moved from in-town to Marietta in the last
9
months and ALE meetings out here would be nice ... if they make sense.
