Open Stack

I used to live in Amsterdam so I'd +1 that. I'd also recommend Berlin over
Frankfurt if that is an option, Berlin is pretty wildly cheap.

I think either will be getting a bit cold and rainy in october, however.
Perhaps somewhere in Spain? Barcelona? Weather there is much nicer that time
of year, I hear.
