>From my experiences at QGIS hackfests here are some important things
to think of when selecting your venue:

- can we arrange the tables so we can 'huddle' into groups when needed?
- is there a data projector available for ad hoc presentations?
- can we stay late in the venue
- is it (very) close to cheap accommodation
- does it have plenty of power outlets
- is there good wireless network access available
- can we snack and drink coffee in the venue

If you can meet all these criteria, geek happiness goes up, commits
sky rocket and peace shrouds the world for 3 days :-)

Regards

Tim
