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.<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">After watching the formation of another geo-related 'unconference' that is cheap, but too far away to justify going (<a href="http://www.wherecamp5280.org/" target="_blank">http://www.wherecamp5280.org/</a>, WhereCampPDX, WhereCampSF, etc.), I was wondering if there is enough of a concentration of 'geohackers', 'geophiles', 'osmophiles' and 'geosponsors' to pull off an event like this in the Twin Cities.<br>
<br>
I am aware of MinneBar <a href="http://minnebar.eventbrite.com/" target="_blank">http://minnebar.eventbrite.com/</a>. There might be some overlap with them, maybe even an opportunity to work together on something, etc.<br>
<br>
Has anyone else thought about this? Any thoughts?<br>
