This is really cool. I'd suggest, though, that the creators of the site give more info about the venue and the people that'll be there- I live in Chicago, so it would be really easy to head there. I could probably drag a bunch of people with me, but I know they'd want more info. Totally exciting though, and I like the choice of place.

I signed up since I'm a little closer (A2) but I agree. Most likely the organizers are trying to gauge how much interest there is before committing to a place. You could easily end up with a venue that's too small or too big.

Anyone up for organizing one out here in the Bay Area for the same weekend (or the near future, if Nov. 12th is too last minute)?

I have an iPhone app I've been trying to finish for a while now, but real life keeps getting in the way. This would be the perfect final push to get it over the goal line.

Cool idea. Curious, how will it be different than Startup Weekend? How will you concentrate more on the finishing aspect of projects? Also, love that you're doing this in Holland! Great little town.

Startup weekend encourages new ideas, this focuses more on projects that you had started at some point in time and had just abandoned.

You nailed it! You could consider it a hackfest with an emphasis on finishing something you've been meaning to get around to, just haven't had the time.
