Let me know if I can help out at all. If Google doesn't want to host it, but everyone still wants to string together the GSOC summit and this, I'm sure GitHub can find a nice venue for us and get some food and whatnot. Or, if we can simply 'sponsor' it or something - give the Goog money to host it for us, however that might work. We want to help this happen again this year, so keep me in the loop and we can make sure it gets handled somehow.
