It might be nice to couple this with a New Orleans

idea if New Orleans has meetups already, but the D.C. hackathon coupled with
a meetup and it seemed to work out pretty well. Social interaction and
direct user contact is never a bad thing for developers. ;-)
Context: at last year's D.C. hackathon, we joined the D.C. meetup on
Saturday night. Basically, the meetup was a dinner at a restaurant
with ~10 local Wikimedians, and we kind of took over the whole thing
with ~25 developers :D
I second this notion, meeting up with local Wikimedians in some way,
maybe even inviting them to hang around the venue even if they're not
coders, sounds like a great idea.
