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 pMy 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. :) sri _______________________________________________ las-gnome mailing list las-gnome gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/las-gnome
