Short version is the video at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/384590180/an-events-spac...

The city of Mountain View has shut down more than half of Hacker Dojo, stopped all classes/events/conferences of more than 49 people, and is still threatening to shut the rest down unless the Hacker Dojo does about $250,000 in upgrades and fees to the city. Their concerns are primarily zoning, permitting, and ADA.

Almost everything that isn't raising the money to keep the space open has sadly been put on the back burner for the last 6-ish months so we can keep the city from shutting us down.
