As originally advertised, the event was to be about discussion
relating to the project itself - it wasn't billed as a "hackathon" -
and more specifically, to discuss Indiana.

If we're going to be more generic and even think about making
it a coding/hacking session then we need to readvertise it as
such.

If there aren't going to be a lot of these events held then I can
definately see there being room for using this (and other)
opensolaris summits as the means to get people together and
look at problems we've got and how to solve them.  However
it might be more appropriate for _that_ kind of event to be
held during the week, rather than the weekend, so that
(some) people don't feel like they're working a 7 day week.

I don't know about others, but this was one issue I had to settle
with myself doing opensolaris stuff on the weekend, as being
a Sun person makes it very easy to look at this weekend as
being "work time".
