Not really! Other than that they exist :) And Berkeley may not be ideal either, we'd have to check about classroom and auditorium size/availability. I recall there were several options through the various schools. Wikimania or no, this conversation is also a great preliminary to hosting a smaller (let's say 100-150 ppl), more informal weekend meetup. -- phoebe _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf
