Some additional points:

We need a selling point, proper narrative. There was a Barcamp last month about »the next 50« what will happen in tech in the next 50 years. So it’s good that we have more specific topics: open source, web apps, Firefox OS, …
10 AM – 6 PM on weekday is not a problem because a large part of the community are freelancers
We will also use the first day to find out what everyone works on, and then at the hackathon if possible collaborate on these existing projects because it’s more sustainable than some one-off hacks.
I’ll talk to Jessica (mobile app development) and Mark (head of ux design) about the event format and topics also, cc @xMartin @emimaj
