Hello everyone, this idea started on Facebook; in keeping with radical transparency- it's now on the ML.I have been studying TOSW in order to help me better serve the Communities of Practice I am part of. Recently I have become interested in sharing (and teaching) TOSW. After talking about this with Ryan Singer; he figures that is deserving of it's own hackfest. 

Here is what we have so far-
* Karsten Wade has indicated interest in leading 
* Larry Cafiero, and other Open Source folks of note are also interested
* Ryan can get us a lab-space at Stanford that will hold about 60 people
* November 20th appears to be the most likely day

I am under the impression that this day will not only benefit the participants, it can help many communities of practice. We should be able to find some good examples to be added to this important resource. My mind has already started swirling with potential participants
