I have registered with the SFD organizers to inform them that an event is
being planned in the Tampa Bay area. I also created a wiki for our team so
that we have a place to pool our ideas:

If we are doing multiple locations, perhaps we could just post each one to
the wiki once it has been confirmed. Then the local teams could use the wiki
to keep track of who is attending and such.. What do you think?
