[sudo-discuss] [bayareahackerspaces-discuss] [Proposal] 2014 BACH Unconference on Oct 18-19 at The Omni (Oakland)

[Matthew Senate]

Hey all,

Update from the Sudo Room meeting tonight, it looks like we're in favor of
hosting Oct 11-12, and I'll be checking in with the rest of The Omni
Collective tomorrow night to confirm there are no other conflicting events.

Please holler if there are any issues with this date/arrangement!

// Matt
