LUGOD from Davis has done this a few times (including with help from
SacLUG at least once, if I recall correctly).  LUGOD members' interest
in volunteering for events has been kind of low lately, so I don't
really want to try to coordinate something ourselves this year,
but if SacLUG does it, I can try my hardest to round up a few LUGOD volunteers
to help out!
