I put together a short post to announce the schedule and published it. http://foss4g-na.org/program-schedule/
Now, we need everyone to hit all of their social networks, work networks, professional associations, etc. and promote the heck out of it. We really need some more people to attend the conference. I can't stress how critical this is.
David D. is working on a press release, we should send it to all of our sponsors, media sponsor, non-sponsoring media organizations (Directions, GIS Cafe, etc.), along with all of the professional organizations, etc.
With only four weeks left until the conference, we should hit the local contacts hard too. It may be easier to get more local people because they don't have to make travel arrangements.
I think that having more traffic and content on the conference site would be valuable, especially in the next week or two. You are all welcome and invited to write up some content for the conference site. I can get it published from there. Ideas include, 'closeup' pieces on the keynote speakers, Things to do in Mpls, where presenters are traveling from, Code sprint promotion, sponsor day plans, etc.

David,
I spend several hours walking the blocks around the Marriott this weekend, tagging ~50 local venues for food, drink and entertainment. By local, I mean "local" local business. I didn't bother tagging the likes of Chipotle or Subway ;)
Send me whatever else you had started making note of and I'll get going on a POI and transit map for the website.
