Yes, my idea was to provide an open space for it on the site itself
so enthusiasts can plan in advance on the whens and hows.

This also adds a sense of expectation ("waiting for conf to do
some real hacking") to the event, which is a good thing.

 Anand C, can we create an open wiki on the site for this ?
 We can provide a specific URL for this which when post-fixed,
will create an open wiki.

For example - in.pycon.org/2011/yourspace/getpython3_hackathon,
                         in.pycon.org/2011/yourspace/opencalais_bof
