North/Possible Collaborators Ottawa

Introduction

This list was compiled at the June 13th Code4lib North Ottawa meet up. It came out of a group exercise to uncover and discover other local technical groups/meet ups who could serve as potential collaborators or presenters for upcoming meet ups. Let's break down a silo or ten, learn some new language, code a cool project... you never know what will happen.

• Additions are welcome.
• Other additions like ways that we can work to find out more about new technologies and find library case studies are welcome.

• Special thanks to Tracey Lauriault for compiling the list.
