[foss4g2014] Birds of a Feather wiki

[Matt Sayler]

Go for it. We'll get some stuff sent out soon-ish.

There is an entry for a FOSS4G Educators BoF that got put in before I was
able to get in there and add the rooms. They scheduled it for the Exhibit
hall, which I suppose is fine, really. However, it's kind of a big open
public space, and the time given is during the Vendor Social. If they're
just doing a meet and greet, that's probably fine, but it will likely be
too noisy to do a serious meeting.
