Hi SM

The Venue is an issue :)

We are struggling to organize event with MSCC, we wanted to start Node
School but same problem of finding a place to host the event. University is
an option but as you said the crowd there may not be interested by the
topic.

Before we where using Ebene Accelerator but now it is closed.

I was thinking about la plage (not in a marketing way) because I do not
know about any other places that could host such event for free.

If you or anyone reading this email have any other options in mind I will
be very happy to hear about it

Regards,
