Build It and They Will Come

I'm looking for this kind of conference to attend:

• In January and someplace warm - I'm thinking Sante Fe
• I can bring my family and they can play while I work
• as a matter of fact, I can take family breaks and play with them
• there's a pool and great restaurants
• a little sight seeing
• I can be with other conference attendees who want to do what I want to do
• say I have a project I can't get completed, I'd like to work on it
• there's no line of people giving lectures
• there's no set schedule really, just a braintrust of people doing their own projects
• all the attendees are as smart as me (or preferrably smarter)
• I have fun, get a lot of projects off the ground AND get to be with my family
• the cost for the conference is not $1000, it's maybe only $100, maybe less

There's no conference like that. Yet.

We're working on it. You interested?
