    An update, Facebook's senior open programs manager, David Recordon, will be keynoting on Saturday morning. He and Luke Shepard are flying out from FB to mingle and to judge the Hackathon. Google Wave demo Sunday, an amazing Hackathon contest, and excellent program sessions in addition to the unconference, there is something for everyone.

    You've gotta register if you want to attend. Space is limited. I'm pinching myself that this event is free.
