After this Ignite the New York community will be taking on the event (though I will come back next summer to do some). They're already put up a community site; Tikva Morowati is on point if you are interested in being involved.

If you don't live in New York (or Seattle or Portland) or anywhere with an Ignite start your own! I urged people at Gnomedex last week and we will soon have new Ignites in Vancouver, Nashville, Dallas and DC (they'll soon be joining all of those logos to the right). Check out our community site for more information.
