I did -- it's great, though the onsite hostel only sleeps 162 and the theater max capacity is 437 (although there is a big warehouse for 3000 that can also be rented), so we'd likely have to have the keynotes elsewhere, and accommodation and transport would be a problem. Otherwise a good plan! You see the trouble with this particular conference size :) -- phoebe _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf
