Simon and I will likely just find some Starbucks and meet there on Saturday,<br>
2013-05-11 with a very ad-hoc announcement over our infra to start something up<br>
in true guerilla style ;) -- but, if you have some better location and maybe<br>
means to buzz this to the local community, we would be more than happy to take<br>
advantage of that. So: Any way you could support us in any way (including<br>
hinting us towards a better suited local partner, if needed) would be greatly<br>
appreciated.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>A lot depends on what geographic region of the Bay Area you prefer.</div><div style><br></div><div style>There are a couple of hackerspaces that might work for you. One is the</div>
