    Love the format of FWD KC… Would make a great hackathon project to get an event board like that for OMA. And then, maybe link them with a regional portal, people could drill down into their area of interest.

      Yep, that’s a great project idea. I really like the national thing too. Like a next gen meetup, maybe?
