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: 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? // Matt

I'd opt for an earlier date, if those dates work for others. Either of the earlier weekends (4th & 5th or 11th & 12th) work for me.
