[Penguicon-Concom] Our locations: where is truly central?

I was inspired by a Google Maps mashup on the Ohio LinuxFest site. You
can see the home locations of all the attendees who preregistered, but
you can't see specific addresses and it doesn't identify them.

The site code is open source, so this possibly could be reverse
engineered to fit in our site. However, as cool as that would be, I
have a different use in mind for Google Maps for the time being.

What I'd like to create would be a Google Map showing anonymized
locations of the concom and staff members, that we can use as
reference to plan concom meeting locations with the Google Maps
distance measurement tool. All I would need would be the address of
each of you, which you can email to me privately off-list. If you want
to list streets without the street number, that's OK too. Your
identifying information would not be revealed publicly.
