I just one of the organizers of Oakland Nights Live
scheduled for Oct 11th
(evening)
whether we can run our event later (until maybe 6pm or 7pm) in the ballroom
during their setup, then move downstairs to the basement if necessary.
I think this might be ideal for both time to prep, low overhead, and use
of the big beautiful ballroom!

Hey all,
Okay, so I have a tough question to ask!!!
Here's The Omni's calendar
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Calendar
We *can *host the event on Oct 25-26, BUT we'll have to coordinate with
a
concurrent event:
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/10/24_Alette_in_Oakland They
expect 100-150 people mainly in the ballroom (
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/File:Omni_full_floorplan_NS.svg).
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).
Here are the *Alette in Oakland* (concurrent event) details:
Fri Oct 24: 7-10pm
Sat Oct 25: 10am-10pm
Sun Oct 26: 11am-3pm
We're not sure if there will be sound issues between the ballroom and
basement, but we can try to find out beforehand. I don't think it will
be
too big of an issue if we're not using
amplified sound.
Alternatively, we can pick an earlier date with more flexibility of
location and concurrency
Oct 4-5 has:

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
http://omni-oakland.org/
I mocked-up a site we can use for the event:
http://2014.ba.chgrp.org/
It's fork-able at
https://github.com/chgrp/2014.ba
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!
Also, maybe there should be a Halloween theme?
