Great! I'm working on a bunch of stuff and will post my progress tomorrow. In the meantime, everybody get your creative juices flowing!

Can you make colorful posters in that style?

Yes, absolutely. I seem to have access to a nice silk screening studio here in columbus, also. Not sure what the size limit of the setup is yet though. Largest posters I have done in the past were 18"x30" (just shy of 1x.5 metres)

Driving home from work I brainstormed the tagline "A Convergence of Divergent Minds" or "A Convergence of Divergent Thinkers" something like that. Convergence is obviously everyone from different places, abilities, backgrounds coming together. Divergent minds speaks to those who are autistic, as well as neurotypicals who choose to think differently from the pack to understand the importance of neurodiversity in society.
Still trying to come up with a name that reflects our main goals...

This is way cool. I love it.
@Ken G: I'm totally digging those Neurodiversity images. Let's get something like those going.

I don't know about it though, I think that sponsors will be more likely to give money if the title is clear about the cause. My concern is that others will not understand what Autworld means and how it is a good place for their business to gain exposure. I think we need to focus on unity of the community. You know? Sponsors will not donate to something that just seems like a big party, it needs to be twofold.
1) A networking get-together for autistics
2) A workshop for the community to learn more about autism and how autstics can invaluable in the workplace and school
The bottom line is that this will not happen unless we have funding. We won't get funding for a party. We WILL get funding for a cause, and since we are show casing autistic talent, the best focus will be on understanding the benefits of neurodiversity. We can sell tickets to professionals, teachers, HR representatives from different companies. The more THEY pay for tickets and we get corporate sponsors, the LESS people from wrongplanet will have to pay to attend.

I think what we need to do, regarding the name, is to come up with say 3 or 4 options that everybody thinks are good, and then create a poll where people can vote for which one they prefer (so we are doing this diplomatically). Once we have determined the winning vote, we can then ask alex to make a final say on it.
Alternatively, we can draw up a list of name ideas, then send the list to alex where he can choose.
So far, I believe a large proportion of us have agreed on "AutWorld" so that can be our first option.
I also like where you are going SC_2010, but I feel the name also needs to somehow reflect that this is both a WP founded and Autism gathering, plus I feel the title itself needs to be quite short and snappy - so people can remember and refer to it easily (although then we could elaborate further with a subtitle). However, this is just my perspective - thus making it only one persons opinion. It's very important we create a democratic decision-making process for the big decisions otherwise we will quickly descend into chaos.

I'm very inclined to agree with you. Of course, you know that, as we spoke yesterday.
I guess I'm trying to say... Second!
