[Talk-us] Toronto Hack Weekend, 08-10 March 2013
Come one, come all, to the Second Canadian OpenStreetMap Developer Weekend, eh? As last year, Ryerson University is providing a dry roof overhead, lots of space and rock solid wifi for the programming portion of the event. There will also be a public event, possibly an expert panel, Friday afternoon at Ryerson. Details to follow. Also as last year, there will be a ton of socializing and meeting and greeting with the local OSM community, Friday night and Saturday night. Last year, attendees travelled to Toronto from England, The Netherlands, USA and even the Toronto suburbs. Join the fun! See you in Toronto. Sign up now on the wiki so we can plan for your arrival and the requisite Red Carpet. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Toronto_Hack_Weekend_March_2013 And there are sponsorship opportunities! Want to sponsor a core developer who could otherwise not participate? Want to buy the coders dinner and a few drinks? Let me know. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] paying a debt and making connections
Thanks for the encouragement. I have a half dozen folks here in SLC but growing the group has proven to be a big challenge. Ideally there'd be someone besides me who takes the lead and starts organizing stuff - it's hard to keep a cadence just by yourself, I find. That said, I'm going to plan my next SLC event right now.
