I called the UCSC Conference Office, and the
conditions are better than I
reported:
- Cost: $100 / person *including* full meals (3 meals / day).
- Space: they have availability, especially in August / early
September.
- Transportation: apparently not difficult to charter buses for peak
periods from SFO.
Let me know if you would like me to look into this further.

I've organized several events hosted by Google through Leslie
Hawthorn, who's great and is a friend of our community. (She's been to
several RCCs.) The experience has been great, but it has the same
problems as the others listed: size (probably can't host a 1,000
person gathering), proximity to housing, transportation, etc.
It sounds like Berkeley is the best bet so far. Phoebe, have you
investigated other local universities?
