A few points of my own: 1) I've got lots of ideas about how to make the wiki better including the CoworkingDB project I've talked about a little bit. I've been focusing on our third anniversary party (tonight) so this will get more attention soon.

I went to SXSW a few times but was only going for the coworking meetups.
