This was just too good not to share.  Some Drupal folks are
considering doing training classes where they also create a website
for a non-profit.   They've been calling it a "barn raising" and this
guy just chimed in with:

"Geekend"    n.

1. A weekend spent alone in front of a computer or similarly engaging
creative tool.

2. A digital barn raising, bringing together enthusiastic individuals
to collectively create novel technologies, start digital brush fires
and have (geek) fun.

The Marry an American site is offline, but here is one that describes it:

Sounds like the Hacking Society or LinuxFUNdamentals stuff - but the
name is a little funnier to me.

Regards,
Greg

In Canada the idea of a digital barn raising (called a Geek-end ...
done over a Week-end) was used to launch the Marry An American
campaign (now offline).
