[TCMUG] March Meeting

[Perry Nacionales]

Howdy folks!

This be your man, Perry, reminding you all that we have this meeting next
Tuesday, March 24, 4PM at the beautiful, scenic, and otherwise easily
accessible Metropolitan Airports Commission.  That's right, it's at the
MAC!  While certain beverages cannot be served in this venue, there is a
plan to meet at Buster's pub afterwards. Buster's is a mile or 2 down from
the MAC.

Here's a quick agenda:
4:00 - Introductions
4:05 - Steve and Perry talks about the Toronto Code Sprint
4:15 - Reid talks about this thing called Cyclopath (No, it's not about me.
It's about bikes/biking!)
5:15 - Head on over to Buster's on 28th Ave. S. and 42nd St. for a belated
St. Patrick's celebration.

The address for the MAC is 6040 28th Ave S.,
Minneapolis<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6040+28th+Ave+S.,+Minneapolis&sll=44.96746,-93.245976&sspn=0.006877,0.00928&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=17&iwloc=addr>

Come out, spread the love, bring friends.  If you're a biking enthusiast,
this is a meeting you and your friends don't want to miss. Oh, and it's
going to be a fine day to talk about mapping and open source stuff.  I mean,
PostGIS? GEOS? Python? Mapnik?  C'mon!

See you there!

-Perry
