[SFS] Ogg Camp

[Lorin Ricker]

At first, the "Ogg" led me to think that this was all about music, 
audio, video, that sort of thing... Great in and of itself.  But hey, 
OggCamp is a whole heck of a lot more than "just that", although it 
certainly encompasses arts & music, it really looks like pretty much 
like an "anything goes", as long as it's FLOSS, open hardware, Creative 
Commons, etc.

It would be wonderful to see an OggCamp version flourish in Denver & the 
Front Range.  I'd imagine that its success will hinge on a few things:

1. Dedicated volunteers to organize & run it
2. A "critical mass" of Open Source-oriented businesses to contribute 
significant enough treasure and resources support to promote it (beyond 
just the relatively few of us software/computer geeks who'd attend) to a 
wide(r) creative population, and to fund the actual "hard costs" of 
getting it put on
3. A great venue to host/hold it (which doesn't impose stupid/silly 
restrictions on a bunch of creative free spirits)
4. Attendees -- geeks, artists, writers, performers, nerds, creatives, 
hobbyists, free-thinkers, etc. -- obviously, the more the merrier

I'm in, I'll help!... at least let's start talking and see what planning 
and other practicalities would be required to follow in the footsteps of 
our British colleagues to do a Colorado OggCamp #1 (or even a 0.5)!
