I'm amazed just how many times external conditions can force a change for the better. Similar thing happened to one of my favorite cafe here - landlord wanted them out, they had to scramble, then found a bigger, better, cheaper place just nearby and they have more business and more interesting events than ever before.

Also, I like the transparency of the whole thing.

Well done! If I was living there instead of 16 timezones away, would definitely go and become a member. :)

Thanks for the kind words. We've worked hard to be transparent through the whole process, and we're grateful that things look to be going so well right now, but man, I would have rather spent a year of my life doing something more awesome than undoing some chaos :p I think the other core volunteers and employees would agree.

We're so excited about this. The space is enormous - over 16,000 square feet! It's about double the current footage we're legally allowed to use and is 100% move-in ready. Now we just need to get the fiber pulled and the interior done up and we'll be good to go for the next phase of hacker empire. Yay! (We'll be subletting the old space at Whisman once we complete the move.)

Neat! Does this mean fewer events will get canceled?

This is amazing news! I had to suspend my membership for the last few months (economic reasons) but I'm glad to see that the Dojo lives on. Congratulations.

Just wanted to say congrats
