[okfn-discuss] OKFN meetup/hackaton on Community Dashboard, Berlin sometime in November?

Tach,

Me, Lucy, Rufus, Kat and Dorota just had some late hours brainstorming related to our activities and idea of Community Dashboard:
http://wiki.okfn.org/Community_Dashboard

One of the action points which we would liked to do relates to having more meetup / hackaton activities. Since many folks from community reside in Berlin and I stay rather regularly there, we could organize one around this timespace coordinates =)

We could take topic of Community Dashboard and try to have some cool functional piece ready after that. Not sure if we may like to do it just one day or weekend or whatever but I believe everyone interested in participating may want to influence it! Myself I have xp with finding nice bio vegan food there and could prepare some hearty food for us all!

I feel quite excited about diving into backbone.js, some visualization libraries, mapping (openlayers/leaflet/?) and stitching together something we all feel excited before looking at and have fun interacting with regularly.

I wonder what others think or even more how do you feel about doing it?
=)
