Startup Weekend
Coincidently, I was reading an article about "Startup Weekend" when I received the email from Mike about demo city.
I would think Orlando would be a great venue for hosting a "Startup Weekend". Seems like a great matchup for Orlando Jug/Codetown to host something like Startup Weekend, bringing together the "ideas" people with the developers needed to make it happen.
Would anyone else be interested in participating ?

Hey, Tom - thanks for the heads up! I bet a good way to judge interest level in an event like this would be to do some P/R at the upcoming Barcamp. We're interested in high tech startups, mainly and there will be a great turnout at Barcamp to get feedback. /Mike PS - thinking about it! I think it's a great idea.

I would definitely participate, most likely as a developer.
As a side note, we don't need VCs or Media Partners to organize a hackathon. A project and a room full of eager programmers are more than sufficient. -
