[melbourne-pug] Meetup venues

[Ed Schofield]

Hi everyone, 

Anthony has drawn our attention to this article about York Butter Factory:

> http://www.startupsmart.com.au/technology/york-butter-factory-slammed-over-sexist-tweet/201204186030.html 

On the basis of this, I would definitely like for us to remain with Inspire9 as our venue for future Python meetups. Women should absolutely feel respected and valued in our community. The culture of Inspire9 definitely fosters this. Unless anyone objects, I will contact YBF and decline their offer to host our meetings there.

Best wishes,
    Ed
