[sudoroom] Art Murmur membership application

[Patrik D'haeseleer]

Hi all!

Are we meeting this evening, and if so, where?

Having looked at the actual Art Murmur application, I'm less convinced that
we should be an official participant - at least for the upcoming one. It
really is aimed more towards art galleries, so we'd have to have enough art
pieces up, entertain visitors, deal with building security etc.

I think that for this month, it may make more sense to aim for a highly
visible window display, even if we're not on the "official" Art Murmur map.

What do you think?

Patrik
