I think this would be a great idea. I imagine it would attract a lot of
mobile (and other) software developers since geo is the cool new trendy
thing to have in your mobile apps. At the same time it seems there is plenty
of interest in open- and closed-source GIS-related stuff to have a weekend
full of interesting talks.

Does anyone have a good idea for a venue? Time of year? Minnebar was at Best
Buy's headquarters: I thought it was a perfect size for an unconference.
