...and what is this exactly? The post seems very abstract. Can you put a little more context around it please?

What do Attendees Get?
Co-Founder Dating - Come find other like-minded people. This is
probably the most valuable type of networking you could ever do if you
want to start a business.
Education – Spend a weekend with some of your communities brightest
and most creative minds. Learn a new programming language, what MVP
stands for, how to build an actual strategy, get feedback, and
actually create & test something rather than just theorizing.
Learn How to Launch – This is the epitome of LeanStartup Methodology
at its finest. Go from idea to launch. You have 54 hours to figure out
everything from the mission, your target market, go-to market
strategies, to giving a full presentation of a hopefully working
prototype and validation (or non-validation) of concept to your peers.
Actually Launch a Business – Over 36% of the Startup Weekend Startups
are still alive after 3 months. Sometimes a company emerges, sometimes
one doesn’t. Over 10% of companies go on to produce revenue or get
seed funding, but every time people leave with more experience,
insight, knowledge, friends, and resources than they came with.
Food – 5 meals and drinks are provided during the weekend… Including
plenty of caffeine. We understand the importance of keeping teams
together, and helping them be productive.

Keith & everyone,

I'm sorry about this post.  I hit submit prematurely.  I'm working on a detailed post about Startup Weekend Austin now, and I will be sending it out to the group shortly.
