Would anyone be interested if we were to have more regular LW meetups around the East Bay or San Francisco areas? We probably wouldn’t have the benefit of the SIAIfolks’ company in that case, but having the meetups at a location easily accessible by BART may help increase the number of people from the surrounding area who can attend. (Also, I hear that preparing for and hosting meetups at Benton can be somewhat taxing on the people who work there, so having them at restaurants will allow us to do it more frequently, if there is demand for such.)
I would happily participate in a San Francisco meetup. As an alternative to a restaurant setting, it would be possible to meet in the Noisebridge hackerspace.
