I've already begun to look into alternatives, but this raises a huge red

So, my question to you all is: should I keep looking for venue spaces for
November, or should we plan on delaying LAS GNOME until next year? 

If we decide to proceed, we'll need a new go/no go day, and I'll need help
finding a venue space that will accommodate 50 people in the SF Bay Area.
We'll also need to tell the wider community about this in a way that doesn't
alienate any p


My current feeling is that we should postpone till next year.  It will be very
stressful for the local team at this point to look for a new venue in short
order.  Better to postpone and let you look at a much more leisurely pace.  I
haven't gotten so far into reaching out that I couldn't readily say that we
had some issues with the sponsors I have already reached out to.

+1 for postponing to next year. The time-line was already very crunched, and
without a venue, it would be even more crunched.

One thing we could do is turn it in a hackfest and find a smaller easier venue
since we probably have some initiatives that we can work on.  Eg. host a
couple of hackfests in one place all at once.  Just a thought.

Would a hackfest be big enough on its own to draw people from outside the Bay
Area?

Sorry it fell through, I know all of you are disappointed by this.  We will
carry on. :)
