Whoo! Any sort of Hive get-together is going to be great. I missed last year and regretted it. Even if it's just in VR it's better than nothing. I don't have the hardware, but I will have to check what I could use on Linux.
Snowcrash is a great book, but we don't want the nasty effects people suffered in that.
!BEER
What you could do for example is running an AWS AMI with Windows for a couple of hours and use Remote Desktop Protocol to run it remotely. Technically this should work, and is actually how we will be broadcasting a livestream.
Some RDP clients listed here:

Cheers. I do have Windows on my PC, but very rarely use it. That's my fall-back option. I just don't want to miss out on this event. I'm sure the community will be working on finding ways for the maximum number of people to be involved. I think I've only been to one small meet-up this year and I've missed chatting with Hive people in person.
Thanks for putting this together.
