I am in the early stages of planning an unconference based on the WhereCamp/BarCamp format (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp). The University of Denver has graciously offered to host the unconference but I need to nail down dates and approximate number of people ASAP. Please email me, [email protected], with a non-binding expression of interest. A simple +1 reply is adequate. I am currently planning around these dates and number of attendants:
Dates: July 31-Aug 1st Rooms: 6 rooms on Friday, 4 rooms on Saturday People: 80 first day, 20 second day I expect the Front-Range Geospatial community, being what it is, will have a stronger draw for a weekday focused on presentations than a weekend of hacking. So I split the dates over a Friday and Saturday with a much higher anticipated attendance for Friday. Note: DU won't allow overnight camping. If there is strong interest in an all-night hackathon, I'll track down nearby cheap hotels with free WiFi. And to put a little more camp back into WhereCamp, I'm suggesting an assault on Long's Peak or some other notable hike for the following Sunday, August 2nd. -=--=---=----=----=---=--=-=--=---=----=---=--=-=- Eric B.
