One thing I always come back from the KDE meetings in Europe from is how friggen spread out the US developers are. Every year Zack and I try to get a few east coast KDE devels together for a hackfest. Last year we had a cool meeting with Adam and Hammish, but ironicly Zack could not make it...
So I wonder when or if we should try it again this year. Ben talked to me about having a hackfest in July, but it just didn't work out with me and Zack. We have enough bodies to have quite a party, and rumor has it if i turn the heat on in my house, its a nice place to have a hackfest 
So how about a KDE Halloween party in Philly? Ill provide the party location and the chips 

sad goblins ...
i'd love to come down. but holloween weekend is not good for me, as i have two little goblins that would be disappointed if i was not home.
maybe another weekend around that time?
