Actually, it sounds like Brno might not be available with the other
hackfests already being scheduled there and space contsraints. But if we
agree we'd like to organize a hackfest and figure out who would likely
attend we can nail down where and when.

I do think that February is a good time to do it. We should avoid
conflicting with FOSDEM, but we could also schedule right around it if
that would help.
