I doubt it. We haven't really set anything up to do that. There will
likely be some photos and video taken of Monday morning's info
session.

Frankly, recording the hackfest itself would be a bit awkward for us.
We couldn't quite capture the event, and it would probably make us too
self conscious and ruin a bit of the atmosphere.

But, we'll be twittering (#grhack) and make a wiki page like we did
for the last one to record what we do and accomplish next week.

That's a harder question. Not sure where or when we'll do this next.
But really glad for your interest!
