Re: [Omaha.pm] Looking for places for a hackathon

The other week, I read that Mahoney has added Wi-fi. I can check on the details for that and for rates later this week.
The Ashland Gazette tells a little about the wifi process (http:// www.ashland-gazette.com/site/tab2.cfm? newsid=16395925&BRD=2712&PAG=461&dept_id=569783&rfi=6):
"Visitors coming to the park go to the administration office to pick up a user name and password, Eades said. Then, they can go back to their cabins, campgrounds or lodge room to gain wireless access to the Internet."
By the way, hello! :) I just signed up to the list last week. Since there's already a Matt S, I'll have to be Matt H.

I'm looking around for places we could have a midwest area hackathon.

We'd need to put up 10-30 folks, probably at a corporate retreat
center.  Basically, we'd have people fly in from around the country,
or drive in if they're local, and we'd live at this place 24/7
programming on projects.  Come in Friday, leave Sunday late, or
Monday morning, I suspect.

We need wi-fi Internet, a couple of meeting rooms, and sleeping rooms
for maybe half of the attendees.

And I figured that Omaha would be a great place since that's where
Jay is from, and he's Mr. Mongers.

Any suggestions?
University of Nebraska at Omaha-Peter Keiwit Institute-Anybody on this list? 

Creighton University-Do we have any monger contacts?
We have a couple of retreat centers within 50 miles of Omaha (Leid center in Nebraska City, Mahoney State Park), not sure about capabilities for Wi-fi.
I've been looking for a place to host a BarCamp (http:// www.barcamp.org) so I'll just add your requirements to my list. What's your time frame, Andy?
