you don't need to be in touch with any organization.
you could just ask where other groups (like your local linux user group)
meet. many cities have community centers that can be used,
or ask at the university.

and, we don't need a place for free.
renting a place would be ok too. the conference fee has been extremly
low until now so it sure would not be a problem to raise it a bit to pay
for a location.

we also have funds available to make a prepayment.
so there should be no financial risk.

really all that is needed is for someone to be at the location to help
ensure that everything goes all right and handle the communication with
the location provider.

in latvia, while we didn't pay for the location itself, we did pay for
catering, and the location was only part of that deal.

so don't worry about not having contacts. just open the phonebook and
call a few places to see where we can get a room.

greetings, martin.
