HackFest Relocation: Shared Networking, Fair and Acceptable Use and HackFest Ethics = Any Objection to MOVE?

[Lisa Kachold]

Yes, everyone agrees that 51st and Northern is a good place for the festing.

I have contacted Hans who wanted something special done for May a few
times yet he is very busy; but we want to coordinate the move to new
facilities.

I also might have to go to San Diego to see a neurosurgeon (according
to my internist) around that time, so we will tentatively plan to have
the new fest located at the School for the Blind by second Saturday in
June.

Does anyone want to change the day/time for summer or to accomodate
more festers?
