Hi David,
this event seems really a good idea.

I have a couple of doubts:
why not to join the OSGeo Hacking Event in Bolsena [1] in June? 

maybe two hacking events so close in time are too many.
This year the event in Bolsena has been successful to many, afaik. Well 
at least to me.
:-)

The other problem I have is that I will go to the Spanish FOSS GIS [2] 
meting of Girona in mid march.

ciao
lorenzo
