<div>It's gonna be i3detroit's first year hosting a Software Freedom Day event and we're not quite solid on what to do. We're a pretty hardware-centric group, so it looks like some open platforms (beaglebone, at least) might be the focus.

<div>I'm curious what other folks are doing, what's worked well in the past, how you get the word out, any pitfalls to avoid, etc. </div>

<div>Also thinking about firing up our ustream and trying to get it connected to the synchronous hackathon page... that'll depend on how much free time we have ;)</div>
