New page

This page is just to capture miscellaneous ideas for interesting / cool / fun / educational things we could potentially do at the conference. These are not firm plans, just ideas for further discussion!

* Have a "trip to the mountains mapping party" event in conjunction with SotM - possibly on Sunday before FOSS4G, depending on dates of SotM
* Create a cool interactive map-based web site to places of interest in downtown Denver, based on open source technologies. Again this could be a joint effort with SOTM (using OSM data, of course!). Or maybe we decide existing sites are good enough and leverage those - provide links from our site and maybe add some of our own content.
* Hold various social events at brew pubs downtown to encourage informal networking
* Maybe designate one or more "official pubs" of the conference and negotiate discounts / special deals (in the past the Wynkoop has done "first beer free" promotions. I've also negotiated special beer names with the Wynkoop in the past
* Organize a pool event with "Melissa the Viper" at the Wynkoop
* Consider getting Mayor (possibly Governor?) Hickenlooper to speak
