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: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/10/04_Anne%27s_White_Glove_rehearsals

Hey all,

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.

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:



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?
