Innocentive Hackdays

Hi

Ok, now that I'm done playing devil's advocate, I'd like to suggest
something else.

I would like to make the local Linux community a little more social. I've
always enjoyed the social get-togethers we used to have a lot more then the
ones where I was a speaker trying to prevent my audience from cat-napping :)
To this end I would love it if we can start having regular Hackdays again. I
experimented with this donkey-years ago, and absolutely loved the social
aspect of it. This time I want to ratchet things up a few notches: How about
mashing up a Hackday with a specific "Social Goal" a'la
http://www2.innocentive.com/. In other words, we source a community with a
specific need for an open source solution, and organize a hackday of mad
keyboard-based activity to solve/implement the solution for them.

I envision projects that range from "Install Drupal in our domain" all the
way to "we need this simple software utility website developed".

So think: Linux + Social Incentive + Community need + A day of your time.

Your comments please !

Cheers
Stephan
