After talking to the coordinator she said they had other plans as well, crisiscamp, code sprint and some more additional things - she thought the interest in open source and geospatial was a good fit for their audience. I think at this point they only are asking if we'd like to exhibit (for a couple thousand $).
Thoughts on this?
