[NYLoCo] Summer events, FOSSCON on June 19th @RIT and a possible Geeknic in the Finger Lakes region.

[Brian]

Hi All,

I just wanted to remind everyone that FOSSCON ( http://fosscon.org/ )
is June 19th @ Rochester Institute of Technology. The promo code
for $5 off the registration fee at FOSSCON is "empirestate". We hope to
see you there!

I was talking to one of the organizers of FOSSCON and he suggested
that we try a Geeknic this summer. What's a Geeknic you ask? In short
it's a picnic or camping trip for tech savvy folks more info here:

They already have one planned in NJ for this weekend and we thought it
might be nice to get together w/ some of the people from NY as well as
PA and possibly NJ. So far we've talked about having one in the Finger
Lakes region at a state park. Watkins Glen State Park seems like a
fantastic location since it offers something for everyone.

So how about it, Is there any interest in having a Geeknic this
summer? If so please give us your input so we can plan accordingly.
Here's some info regarding Watkins Glen:

If you have any other suggestions for where to have one please say so.
