I'd vote for flags or tiles for clubs to show where they are centered,
and dots of a single color for people. I like the idea of color coding
by event or year. If care was not taken, someone who moved could show up
multiple times. If you put a dot on for each event you attend, then the
map is always representative of recent location of people. The map can
be cleaned off of dots for older events (where the definition of older
event could even be the last one - i.e. the map only shows the locations
of the attendees of the event it's shown at).


Now that's an idea!  I (or someone else) would be sure to take detailed
photographic records of the dot pattern.  That is something that would be
fun to see develop as these fests get more popular.  Color coding the
various fests would make for a nifty record of who travels from where to go
to what.  We would end up with some people being counted multiple times
though, but hey, that's not too bad if there's a clear delineation between
fests.  I'd probably clear Brickfest 2003 off when I go to Brickfest 2004,
but keep Brickswest on there (and any other fests that I may be able to
attend.  Being Keeper of the Map may end up being rather expensive, travel
wise *heh*)

(...) They also have some overlap of membership (I think most of the Seattle based PNLTC members are also SEALUG members). North Carolina also has an LTC and a LUG (though I'm not really sure anyone really considers them as anything different, the (...)
