→Code4lib Meetups in Edmonton
We're planning a lightning talk evening some time in November, so we should get together to plan it. We're going to meet at The Empress Ale House, 9912 82 Avenue, at 6 pm on Thursday, October 3rd. Hopefully we'll be able to knock out the basic planning for the lightning talk evening at this session.
===First Lightning Talk evening planned===
Our first event - an evening of lightning talks and a tour of the new Edmonton Public Library makerspace - took place November 21st, 2014. We had really great turnout (especially given the cold and snowy weather)
and heard from a wide variety of speakers on many topics of interest. We're looking forward to capitalizing on the interest in the new year.
===Fourth Meetup===
We'll be meeting Thursday, July 31, at the Underground Tap & Grill on Jasper Avenue. Topics up for discussion: hammering out the details of the Netspeed Hackfest, a second evening of lightning talks to be held in November, and organizing a fun, lighthearted debate around apps vs. responsive design.
===Netspeed Hackfest Planning Meeting===
Code4Lib YEG will be hosting a Hackfest for the Netspeed conference on Wednesday, September 15th. If you are interested in helping to organize/pitching in on the day, please join us at Cafe 1912 on Whyte Ave, at 6:30 pm, next Wednesday, August 13, 2014.
