CommunityCamp (aka Dallas Community Leadership Summit)
Here's the idea: Let's bring community leaders and builders together from across technology boundaries. Let's have the *Camp, JUG, RoR, .NET, Refresh and other organizers get together to talk about common challenges, successes and how you "do community". Bring your people building, social networking, community empowering self to share with us all. It is a non-commercial event, organized by volunteers, with attendance free to all. The event will be held in Dallas, and out-of-town guests are welcome.
