Harry, Have fun! Sounds like a it'll be an interesting weekend. I've heard that Nigel W is talking to some folks at George Washington University about a MapAction training here in DC sometime next Spring. One thing you might be able to suggest in your discussions is to have an OSM component to that activity. There's a good number of HOT folks that could be around/available to support that if there was interest.
