The Noisebridge hacker space at 272 Capp in SF could be a good venue. I'm not active in that community but they seem to be open to hosting events like this. It's close to a BART station and a parking garage. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Hosting_an_Event

I have been looking for good meetup groups in the Bay Area for a few months and finally got inspired by you to solve my own problem.

I have created a Hacker News Meetup for Bay Area: https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-zxkdpjmb/

It looks like enough people are interested in different parts of the Bay Area that we can alternate meetups in SF and in South Bay/Peninsula.

If anyone will like to help out or can donate space to meetup, please email me - my profile here has my contact details.

If someone created an event "Hacker News Meetup" on meetup.com, I'd go.

Anyone still hanging around SF or did everyone flee during the pandemic?

I’d be down for a spot between Menlo Park and SJ. Don’t really wanna go all the way to SF

Put me down for the peninsula chapter!

Can we do one that's reachable by Caltrain? Would be amazing to make it from Stanford

I’d come to one in SF or the East Bay!

Sure if it's in the south bay
