Hi Ragi Sounds like you'd enjoy being a member at Noisebridge. It's a tech space/workshop/screening room in the Mission, 2 blocks from 16th and Mission. It's full of techtoys and smart people who like to build/mod and share. It has a great space for meetings and is most stimulating... and there's a kitchen! https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge
Perhaps BAUGOS can have its next meeting there and we can channel our curiosities. http://groups.google.com/group/baugos I hereby ask anyone interested to share the cool projects they are working on at https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Five_Minutes_of_Fame I, too, want more facetime with fellow mappers. Uh, I guess this is where I'm supposed to suggest a meeting time... Is there interest? -D On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 7:08 PM, Ragi Burhum <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tom, > > I'd like to provide a *technical* forum for developers (or people > interested in the technical aspect) of geo problems.
