They claim to be aiming at an age group from 15+.
As as far as I know, DFEY is the only group of it's kind, I should think 
the programming abilities of a non-technical 15year old involved in DFEY 
will probably still outweigh the programming abilities of the average 
teenager not involved in DFEY.

I don't know but I imagine most people involved or interested in DFEY 
would have the level of technical experience needed. I'll invite the 
organisers to join the list anyway - one has said he will be there 
2morro btw - perhaps they can answer some questions.

Let's see how 2morro goes, and then perhaps we'll see if there is 
anywhere/anyone who can help the North-West contingent make an appearance.

It's a pity to be honest it's not in the North-West (well from my point 
of view at least!), we'll have to see if we can kick start some of the 
larger stuff up here. :)

I think it's meant to be a youth version of the rewird state conference 
they ran earlier this year -there's information about the 'adult' 
version on the web but I haven't read it.
