In a post meant to reply to solbangers beauty pageant thread I offered an alternative project that I think is very doable, a calendar. Such a calendar could be ready for the conference and display 2009 as a year. The original post can be found here:
I think this is not only a low cost manageable idea but one that can be accomplished by a small team. I also think it could be inspiring to many and function as recruitment tool and as a revenue instrument. A well crafted calendar could be a very good meme spreader and contain a lot of useful contact information for this organization, sponsors, and other like minded organizations. It is a chance to combine art and science with a functional tool that increases exposure for the meme.
