Just an update on the relocation:
We've signed a lease! :-) Our new offices will be south of Market in San Francisco downtown. We also have desks & chairs waiting in a warehouse, and Internet & VoIP is in progress.
Thanks to Sue, Mike, Erica, Rob, Mona, Cheryl, Brion, etc. who all helped get us to this point. :-) Special thanks to George Herbert and other local Wikipedia volunteers who've helped us with free & friendly advice!
Yesterday (Thursday) Sue, Brion, Cary, Kul, Erica, Cheryl took a tour of the office.

The old tenant is still in the process of moving out, so it's all super-messy. But it will be lovely. The neighborhood is mildly seedy - but not too bad :-)
Mike & I will be in SF starting next week, and Jay will be working from Canada for the first few months at least.
Cary, perhaps you can describe the people in some of the pictures?
Best, Erik

Er, sorry, the tour was Wednesday, not Thursday.
Whatever day, looks like a fun time was had by all :) Good luck with the new premises!

Any chance of a map to the site?

I don't think so. As far as I know, the actual address of the old office was never made public, they might do the same here.

What more do you want? It's even the suite/apt. number there ;-)

Thank you for the update Erik. It looks like a bit of cleaning and repainting will be necessary :-) But I like the large windows and the wooden floor. And yeah, we need names on the faces of the new people :-)
