Hi Sameer,

thanks a lot for the update and all the information.

$400 per full-day for a small classroom seems like quite a lot of
(coffee-/beer-)money so unless we find a gracious donor it seems like we'll
have to find another location. So yes, any suggestions for other suitable
locations would be much appreciated.

And I loved being at Noisebridge last year but fear that it's overflowing
with too many interesting distractions;-) Oh, and I'm a member of the The
Hub here in Vienna so could also try to reach out to the San Francisco Hub
to see whether we could get some deskspace there for 2~3 days.

Cheers,
Christoph
