Progress

• 03/06/2007: We've been approached by the makers of Outerz0ne, the Jacksonville 2600 guys, and the Shmoo Group offering help toward putting a con together. I'm waiting till after ShmooCon before I start trying to put anything together assuming it's not too late already to throw something together for this year. I think we're going to try an gear it as a tech conference and try to bring together groups similar to our own in once place for a weekend of project showcases, open discussion, and brainstorming.
