Re: [CODE4LIB] outside of libraryland,
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. Lauderdale, which is a civic hacking group that's part of Code for America. 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:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Ethan Gruber Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 8:26 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] outside of libraryland, LODLAM, LAWDI (linked ancient world data institute/initiative), CAA conference (computer applications in archaeology).

Re: [CODE4LIB] outside of libraryland,
I'll add support for Refresh (Raleigh-Durham calls it Refresh the Trianglehttp://www.meetup.com/refreshthetriangle/). TriUXPA http://triuxpa.org/ is another, slightly more formal, professional group that is solid. Then there are other meetup groups down here that I've attended events for here and there like Function Pinkhttp://www.meetup.com/functionpink/and Triangle Drupal Users Group https://groups.drupal.org/tridug. -Charlie -- Charlie Morris Web Development Librarian NCSU Libraries: User Experience Department D.

One of the first CloudCamps I went to was at Microsoft NERD [3] which has tons of events and I then began to troll their website for events that I might find interesting. I also tried to follow folks I met at the event on Twitter, that also put me in the know about events that are going on.

I've found these groups super-helpful for connecting with other web folks in my area, keeping up with technology, and otherwise getting outside the bubble of libraryland. And I've been able to reach out to the community when we are hiring for technical positions, which has been useful in the past.

You can check them out at: http://nagw.org/ There is a fee involved though, so if you find them a good fit your organization might be willing to cover it. In peace, Amy M.
