What do you get when you fill a room with developers, retro and modern gaming, Wil Wheaton (@wilw), and beverages?

Tomorrow kicks off the post Intel Developer Forum (IDF) unconference known as Intel AppUp Elements 2010. Let's take a look at what to expect as ReadWriteHack covers this event.

The unconference-style event, which is being sponsored by Yahoo! Developer Network Europe, NESTA, mediaguardian, The Young Foundation, CabinetOffice, and madgex, and includes Bebo-founder Paul Birch and Yahoo! lead developer Chris Heilmann on its advisory board, aims to bring developers together for 48 hours to solve a set of social problems.
