            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>This thread has been an on-going discussion for
              hackerspaces in the bay area, and a topic of a few of the
              in-person BACH meetings.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>At the sudo room meeting tonight we discussed an
              opportunity to revive this thread and galvanize
              peer-to-peer coordination and collaboration among the
              wider bay area hackerspace community by hosting the first
              BACH Unconference at sudo room and counter culture labs's
              new location: The Omni <a href="http://omni-oakland.org/" target="_blank">http://omni-oakland.org/</a></div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>I mocked-up a site we can use for the event:</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div><a href="http://2014.ba.chgrp.org/" target="_blank">http://2014.ba.chgrp.org/</a></div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>It's fork-able at <a href="https://github.com/chgrp/2014.ba" target="_blank">https://github.com/chgrp/2014.ba</a></div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>The date is not totally set of course, so holler if
              there's a good reason to change it, but some time in
              October should be the goal!</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>Also, maybe there should be a Halloween theme?</div>
