I helped organize the Berlin one, but I'm in the Bay Area often and would be happy to attend or even help organize there.

I personally feel like SF is good, since I live in Berkeley and SF is easiest to reach from both the east bay and the peninsula. But I can make it anywhere.

We did our Berlin one in the evening. Good pizza and beer time.

I am happy to help organize, but I probably couldn't do it until early Dec or early next year. Happy to do the next one if you feel that's too far away.

Or, what also might be interesting is to do one in the evening on Mon Oct 28th, as there will be a lot of people in town for GitHub Universe.
