Piggy-backing on bigger events is generally a good idea for small hackfests with a good % of pure volunteers.
I'd be fine with that. Even so there's usually some work involved, so my main request is for the organizing/logistics to be handled by someone other than WMF. Therefore I think we should bias towards places where there's an expressed willingness to do so by a chapter or other local group.
So far we've got potential interest from Wikimedia UK and Wikimedia Denmark (Ole suggested potentially attaching it to http://www.opensourcedays.org/ in March), as well as the suggestion to just attach this to the Amsterdam hackathon in May.
I've enumerated some of the main options here and would appreciate feedback:
