Hi All (and thanks SkyDog for your kind words).

It's true that we will be moving into a new building in San Francisco. 
Unfortunately, construction has yet to begin on the building in any 
serious way. I hope that we'll be able to move in by the end of this 
year at the latest.

That said, I don't know how much space will be available in the building 
for a true hacker space, but I do hope to have some public geek/hacker 
space, to be used for meetings, presentations, and such. Until we 
actually get approval from San Francisco for the build out, I won't know 
how the building will be organized or how much space will be available.

Now, if anyone would like to fund the addition of a third floor for use 
as a hacker space, I probably won't say no.

Bill
