[OSGeo-Boston] OSGeo Boston May meet-up

[Spanring, Christian]

Hi,

A couple of people I've talked to recently would like to organize a meet-up of open source mapping software/data users/developers. The idea is to share experiences, show and discuss projects and learn from each other.

I guess the first thing is to assess how many people are interested and what dates are possible for everyone who wants to come. I went ahead and created a doodle for two weeks in May:

If you're interested, please go there and mark the days that are possible for you. I thought a good time is after work, 6-8pm for instance.

Meeting space:

Ideally it's a space with free Wifi, a projector to show things and a quiet environment for group discussions.

I've found following venues so far:

* Microsoft NERD is contacted, but I haven't heard back from them yet
* MAPC (Downtown Boston) conference room (fits about 30 people)
* Sprout Studio Space (http://thesprouts.org/) in Davis Sq

If you happen to know another venue (MIT, Harvard?) that would be available, have suggestions, comments, etc. about a meet-up please post it to the list.

Looking forward to meeting many of you!
