We are generally a group of friends sharing common geek tendencies. We meet in several real spaces currently. Often we are in many classes together and meet in the UNIX labs. In this case anyone who wants to come to the UNIX lab can meet the rest of the group. If we meet online then one needs access to the Internet.
Members can use computers at home or in any of the labs on campus to read emails.
We also meet at other people's houses on occasion. If this is the case the group usually receives email invitations via our little mailing lists as to which house we are going to. If one or more people can't make it to the house they can usually still participate with the group online. We tend to go to houses with high-speed Internet connections. The only time that we are usually away from a network connection of some sort is when we meet in public at the bars.
