[Foundation-l] Relocation announcement

[Gary Kirk]

I really don't agree with the idea that you're going to purposefully
move somewhere knowing it's only for a short while, then move
somewhere else. If SF has been chosen then I'd assume lots of research
was done, and not just picked out of a hat, and so a permanent new
office can be established and not have the upheaval of moving twice in
a year.
