This is a good thread :). I'm a WordPress Miami Organizer, and we have two meetups a month right now: a general, user one, and I host the Developers Nite. I'm also trying to help start Code for Ft.

And then I'm pretty active on the web and stuff, but those are the human groups I mess around with. -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ethan Gruber Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 8:26 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] outside of libraryland, LODLAM, LAWDI (linked ancient world data institute/initiative), CAA conference (computer applications in archaeology).
