[Geowanking] Wherecamp Friday May 22

[Anselm Hook]

I believe the best date is Friday or Friday/Saturday - May 22/23 .
That's what I have been searching for. Doing it before Where 2.0 makes
no sense. For those booking their flights; I'm opposed to pushing this
before Where 2.0.

Granted - yes - one day is not so great. But it isn't "time" it's
"venue". The real issue is venue. The requirement is a space with a
few good rooms, internet, late night hacking, _that is available_. The
gracious Yahoo offer meets most of this criteria.  We have not seen a
weekend venue in our price range.

Suggest a venue! - it's the only way to really be effective here if
you want more...  You know what we need. Our budget is 5k for venue at
max. We simply have not been able to find a venue that offers
friday/saturday at < 10k ~ 15k.

If you are a corporation with some extra space - here's a chance to
step up to have a couple hundred of the worlds foremost map makers in
one space.
