Location

UNCONFIRMED BUT LIKELY:

San Francisco State University
835 Market St, 5th Floor (go downtown, NOT the main campus!)
San Francisco, CA 94103

In a modern classroom (or possibly 2!) during business hours. Nearby pubs will be well-used evenings too.

Cost will be kept to an absolute minimum (thanks to the amazing generosity of SFSU) with reliable Wifi included -- lunch/dinner available for purchase downstairs at the large Food Court.

Note the weekend's Community Summit itself (structured talks etc, which you will not want to miss) typically costs about $40/person to pay for room rental, supplies etc. That price would be an order of magnitude higher if it weren't for the astonishing volunteer efforts of the http://olpsSF.org community.

Accommodations

Great hostels are available in San Francisco but must be booked early. Please write to the olpc-sf public mailing list for tips: http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-sf
