Coincidently, I was reading an article about "Startup Weekend" when I received the email from Mike about demo city.   

 

http://startupweekend.org/

 

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.
I would be interested in Startup CIty in Orlando.  We have plenty of dev resources and few startups or startup mentallity.  How do we help?
