We had some ideas for venues that might be free or cheap:
 
* MIT (through SIPB)
* Mass Art (through Dana)
* NEIA (through NEIA Free Culture)
 
We had some ideas for groups to talk to, to collaborate with:
 
* NEIA Free Culture
* Boston Python meetup
* Django Meetup
* Sunlight Foundation meetup
* Android meetup
* Other tech meetups?
* Mass Art VJ people
* (Princeton Laptop Orchestra?)
* Boston LISA, LOPSA
* FSF
* Sugar Labs
* Sprout
* Artisans Asylum
* Bassam and his Blender crew
* People we know and like at Red Hat
 
We want an after-party of some sort. Maybe the Mass Art VJ people would help out with that.
