Title: Bitcoin Hackathon Location; in search for a place to get together tomorrow,13th Post by: apetersson on September 12, 2012, 05:37:24 PM Our stroke of bad luck continues.
I just checked the Mozilla Location and they are closed down totally (the lady at the reception told me) So our options for tomorrow are: Get an official slot at the London Hackspace the tourist agency recommended to us: Pubs have sometimes larger rooms willing to give away during the day if we consume something get a conferernce room at a hotel pascal and i will do a pubcrawl looking for a possibility. if you know any place in london for up to 9 bitcoin people who want to code for a day and maybe a halv please let us know.

a very nice conference room at megaro hotel near kings cross. they have dedicated wi-fi, power, projector, quiet room. it would cost 150 pounds for one day or 250 for two days. we could stay from the morning to 11 in the evening. also they have a restaurant attached. Title: Re: Bitcoin Hackathon Location; in search for a place to get together tomorrow,13th Post by: apetersson on September 12, 2012, 08:06:31 PM please comment soon so we can come to a conclusion in a reasonable timeframe and a location where we meet tomorrow. if we take either of those two locations we should meet quite early.
personally i would be fine with either of those locations. the cafe is free but maybe not as convinient. the hotel would cost 31,25 pounds per person and we have a more professional environment. Title: Re: Bitcoin Hackathon Location; in search for a place to get together tomorrow,13th Post by: Nefario on September 12, 2012, 09:39:11 PM I'm also OK with either of these venues, if we want to go the more professional route I'll BTC bankroll it with conference money, just for the day though.
Just back BTW Title: Re: Bitcoin Hackathon Location; in search for a place to get together tomorrow,13th Post by: apetersson on September 12, 2012, 10:51:19 PM thanks for the reply. i propose we meet at king's cross at 8:30 to make the final decision. at the exit at king's cross right outside the megaro hotel/burger king. the locations are just a few minutes apart via subway but if we take the hotel we should be there on time.
you can take a look at the precise location here in street view: http://goo.gl/maps/KpGDU i can sponsor a little extra too, since i got a donation for the video after the last hackathon.. Title: Re: Bitcoin Hackathon Location; in search for a place to get together tomorrow,13th Post by: Nefario on September 12, 2012, 11:02:22 PM If we go for the cafe route, we can use the funds on food instead of rent.
Anyway, 8:30 seems fine to me. Title: Re: Bitcoin Hackathon Location; in search for a place to get together tomorrow,13th Post by: shtylman on September 13, 2012, 07:16:00 AM So is the hotel the final venue decision? Are there conference funds to cover it?
Title: Re: Bitcoin Hackathon Location; in search for a place to get together tomorrow,13th Post by: apetersson on September 13, 2012, 08:10:26 AM No. three of us showed up to the meeting location, so we decided to move to the cafe.
it is at leicester square station at st. martins lane opposite of number 77. we are right now having breakfast and will be moving upstairs soon.
