Mostly agree that we can't afford the move - we'd probably be able to
pay the rent if we raised the membership fees significantly but wouldn't
have money left for one-time expenses related to the move. Would be nice
to save bunch of cash for that first.

I like the idea of space shared with vpsfree - together we may have
stronger negotiating power. We'd just have to be careful to arrange the
cooperation so that it's transparent and beneficial for both
organizations.

I know that it's the holiday season but I'd like to propose to council
and anyone else interested to meet and discuss in person what we should
do next regarding the space at Vranovská. If you're interested please
select your preferred date:

 I wouldn't mind.

 Although, while on the topic, I don't think the financial side of things
 adds up. We simply don't have enough members to justify the move yet.
 IMHO raising the fee will work only against us in terms of slowing the
 growth, which we will so desperately need, if we agree to raise our
 expenses at this point.

 We could merge the plan to move with my long term goal to have an office
 in Brno for vpsFree.cz. That could double or triple what we could be
 able to afford - though for the purposes of two separate entities that
 still might not be enough. So I'd say let's get some fresh members first
 and then figure something out.

 The Vranovská space made me think more about a new space for base48.

 Personally I don't enjoy spending more time in a cellar space. It's
 because of missing daylight and higher humidity, I think. From my
 viewpoint cellar is good only for casual meetings, taking medicaments
 and listening to loud noises. It's not so good for more hours of
 everyday serious work. However, I know that some members stand up for a
 cellar space and I respect it.

 For me, for example brmlab space fits me best because it is a ground
 space or actually half-ground space that makes it more affordable, and
 it is close to the city center at the same time.

 And in my opinion, non-cellar space would be also more attractive for
 new members.

 I'd like to know your opinion on:

1. How much do you insist on a cellar space?

 2. Suburb non-cellar space is cheaper. How important is the location for
 you? Can you imagine Řečkovice/Komárov/whatever further district?

 3. Are you willing to pay higher member fees for brighter, more aerial
 space? Can you say how much exactly?
