We definitely have many friends in the DC area, and a hackfest is not out of the question. More likely in the future plans would be to host a GRCon in the DC area, possibly next year. We'll have a day-long hackfest associated with the conference like we did last time and like we're planning for GRCon13 (details of that to come soon!).
