To throw a wrench into the logistics thoughts, a question:

It'd be really really nice to be able to extend the "projects time" to the 
normal duration of ending at ~5 PM. Is there a nearby cafe-type area that 
we could move to, say, after or during lunch, so that we could stay there 
longer? We mostly don't need A/V after lunch.

The one exception is that the Github demo needs A/V. So perhaps it makes 
sense to move there right after the Github demo, which might end at ~2pm.

Katherine, what do you think?
