Need a place to crash? Stay at the Hacker House

My new apartment is starting to look a bit like this. 3 laptops, 2 netbooks, a big desktop, scanners, printers, etc... and there's only 2 of us. Time for a clean out :)

Looks awesome. This is another example of why I'm glad I moved from Australia to the Bay Area.

How difficult is it to move there? I am finishing up my Masters degree this September and want to go to California for at least a year to work.

But it looks to me that you can only get H1B visa's which makes you totally dependent on a single employer without the ability to change jobs.

Do you have citizenship?

Love the idea. Will be looking to implement something like this soon.

Question: where did you guys get those working tables? They seem cheap enough and perfect for workstations: fairly deep and easy to move around.

You can change jobs when you are on H1B. It is L1B (intra-company transfer from a foreign country) where you can't.
