I was going to put my vote in for Denver. If FOSS4G is going to be there that would be great if people could make both events.

The events should definitely be separate and have their own identity (I think), but there would be quite a lot of people interested in attending both. We'll probably have around 1000 people at FOSS4G. Cheers, Peter.
