Welcome to the wiki home of the New England "chapter" of Code4Lib.

My friends, let's get something started, eh?

Heather wound her hand around each cock and began pumping them up and down gently <a href=" http://www.kaboodle.com/jessicasimps ">yuvutu home of</a> =) <a href=" http://www.kaboodle.com/lilly123 ">www youtubeporno</a>

Future meetings

Suggest some other, future locations below. Something not too hard to get to for folks in all corners of the N.E. area would be best

  • Somewhere in Western Mass (a.k.a. 413; a.k.a. Northampton, MA; a.k.a Hamp; a.k.a. NoHo) - This would work best for me, the further West, the more likely I can make it (ecorrado)
  • I can probably offer free space in our Concord NH campus with good network and projectors, though I realize that may be too far north for some --Casey
  • Somewhere in the Boston area
  • Portland, Maine, of course. Where else? LibraryThing will buy donuts.
  • I could suggest New Haven, but it isn't exactly a central location for this group. --dlovins
  • +1 for Portland, ME. I might be able to arrange meeting space at the U of Southern Maine if this is a viable location. --jonvw
  • Forbes Library during their business hours
  • Possibly one of the Five Colleges?
  • Boston Public Library (end by 9pm Monday through Thursday, or end by 5pm Friday through Sunday)
  • Elsewhere? Add to this list...
  • Come to PVD (Beatrice)
  • I would be happy to arrange something at MIT, once we've given some locations outside of Boston a try (sfish)
