<div><br></div><div>We <i>can </i>host the event on Oct 25-26, BUT we'll have to coordinate with a concurrent event: <a href="http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/10/24_Alette_in_Oakland">http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/10/24_Alette_in_Oakland</a> They expect <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">100-150 people mainly in the</span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> ballroom (</span><font face="arial, sans-serif"><a href="http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/File:Omni_full_floorplan_NS.svg">http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/File:Omni_full_floorplan_NS.svg</a>).</font></div>
<div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">I'd anticipate a BACH Unconference maybe getting close to the 100+ mark only with a great turnout, but probably closer to ~50 with rolling attendees (folks leaving and new folks arriving) for this first-time event. Either number of people would fit in the basement + sudo room's space (see same floorplan above).</font></div>

<div dir="ltr">Hey all,
<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>
