I'm not aware of any plans that call for massive hiring in a central office. Most office hiring will be for routine administrative/clerical functions which will be much cheaper outside of a major metropolitan areas. Flights from St. Petersburg to NYC or DC are $200 round trip and are easy day trips. International flights are more difficult but that hasn't slowed down Jimbo. Given that the Foundations pays $400 per month for office space, it's a whole lot cheaper to fly back and forth a few time a month than lease office space in Manhattan.
Our strength is that we are a virtual organization and that isn't going to change.
Fully seconded. One of our strengths is extremely low costs implying strong independence and no fears about our financial future. Adding a lot of staff and the rent and salary costs associated with an office in an expensive city does not appear to me very compelling, to say the least.
