[MTOS-dev] Dev Day on May 30 in San Francisco

[Jay Allen]

Not only that, but I think that there are a large-ish group of people  
who typically wait until the last minute to commit.  And frankly, even  
if it is only four people, I think we should STILL do it.  I do a lot  
on my own and would love the chance to have three OTHER excited,  
focused and motivated people around me doing the same.  We can get a  
whole lot done.

Would it be better if we renamed it to something less grand with  
expectations that are easier to meet?  Something like an "MTOS Project  
Hackathon" (i.e. hacking on the whole project, not just the software).
