USSF Tech House

Does anyone already have a great plan for where to stay? Should techies band together to rent a house? Should techies band together to *buy* a house?

This wiki will collect some information about tech housing for the USSF in Detroit.

Maybe it should be on a different server? I’m just collecting information from email threads here.

Additional Thoughts

alfredo> There are several people who’ll be there much of the month and lots will be there the week before.

alfredo> we should guarantee every techie who comes to work on the Forum is a place to stay and some communal food.
libkuman> This is a little scary for me seeing how many techies we might have, i can see shooting for that but guaranteeing is a really big deal

alfredo> we need the place to store out stuff and we need the place to store our people.

mallory> We have a budget of $800 for housing. It might be worth getting a headcount soon and doing extra fundraising if necessary.
