This is fantastically awesome, guys. Good on you.
Someday, my dream is to have the means to do something like this, but bigger. A "hacker hostel" where people can come and spend time working on their projects without having to worry about paying rent.
Has anybody ever tried anything like that? I know there was "hacker halfway house" a while ago, but from what I understand, that wasn't actually a place you could live.
I also remember some people here allowing hackers to camp in their backyard in tents, and colaborate in the house...
I don't suppose you guys would let me and my insane dog come and stay there, would you? (Dog: http://thingist.com/t/item/1675/ http://thingist.com/t/item/1675/)

- zephjc 16y agoWhen I was younger I thought something like a hacker monastery would be fun (probably inspired by the term "Perl Monks"), but monetizing to the point of it being at least self-sustaining could be difficult.

- jacques_chester 16y agoI too had the idea of a hacker hostel, right down to the name. Essentially you can house and feed a large group people more cheaply than if they spread out and do it themselves. I'd issue rooms with payment in equity, up to (say) 12 months.
