Perhaps we should make some actual plans about what we intend to do. I'm somewhat more apt to do things with a clear purpose.
I just had a talk with the organizer of Open Everything NYC, to try and get a lay of things and see what our possible role might be. Basically, the event is structured as an unconference, which means the session topics will be decided by consensus of the ~150 participants that morning.
There should be about 8 sessions total, running over the course of the day in the 4 rooms. I think our focus would be on joining or starting a session on Open Education, and maybe raising two or three ideas that are viable to collaborate with like-minded groups on, like photographic projects, library initiatives, and work with universities.
Hopefully this is a bit of a plan.
Maybe other ideas could also go on-wiki:

Hi folks,
Just wanted to put out a reminder about Open Everything NYC, which is coming up this Saturday from 9:00AM- 6:00PM at UNICEF in Manhattan.
Hopefully if we have a couple of participants from our group, we can make good contacts with like-minded local organizations that will also be present.
Don't forget to register online beforehand:

The schedule hasn't been finalized but the event will end sometime between 5:00 and 6:00 PM. There will be a post event social gathering and there is a chance of a follow up project on Sunday.
Stay tuned to http://nyc.openeverything.us for full details (I just added an RSS feed).

How long will it last in the evening? After Shabbos (the Jewish Sabbath) ends an hour after sunset? Will it extend a second day to Sunday maybe?
