Oh I was just suggesting the hub space for a general, casual meet-up space opportunity, not so much for the big event. I hear good things about that. The hub folks sound interesting, but I just kinda want to see the space. It sounds like a really great idea.

Hey Jay,
Check the wiki. :-) We looked into it. Price is right, but it may be too small. Capacity for an open space-ish conference is about 100, and it would be tight at that number. We want to be prepared for 150 at least.
On the other hand, I think it would be a great party venue, and it would have a higher capacity in that situation. Plus, I talked to them about possible sponsorship, and they would definitely be open to that.
Let me know if you want an intro. The space is really beautiful; I'd recommend taking a look.

Hi all - I sent this around earlier to some other folks. I was talking to someone at city hall in SF today and they brought me up to speed on this place: http://bayarea.the-hub.net/public/space__Hub%20SoMa.html
In the old Chron building (and environs) not too far from the office. Sounds like it might be an interesting space to try a meeting, or maybe even set up a regular 'collaboration' space. I'm not sure what the overhead is, or if there is any. The city is quite excited about promoting them.
