I just blocked out the weekend of the 17th - 18th March in the group
calendar - it's available so far.

Re: charges, as I think I mentioned before, the going rate is now 500
quid per day - so as close as we can get to that would be great. 

Obviously, since OKF is a beloved organisation, if that's unrealistic we
can wrangle it down - but if dosh can be got, then funnelling it into
Limehouse is A Good Thing. What's a realistic proportion of 1k for OKF
to pay? I can try to raise some money between now and then if we have a
target, or can put whatever price we feel is plausible to the group and
see if they're up for it.

Cool - Maybe an okfn rep (not me! I talk too much already) could do an
'opendork' presentation at the next dorkbot about it and maybe we can
gauge opinion/enthusiasm for something like that..
