Hello DNR, Actually, I was at noisebridge last night for the EFF talk. I also have been attending the iPhone dev meetup there. :) I have been lurking around the spacebridge mailing list for awhile, and I was going to send a message there about the meetup today.
I spoke to Josh yesterday about the BAUGOS meetings (I have attended most -if not all - of them). Since I was shooting for a more general crowd (not just open source gis), I thought it was a good idea to start this general 'geo' group. I hope you join it and thanks for the info anyway. - Ragi On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 10:00 AM, DNR <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Ragi > Sounds like you'd enjoy being a member at Noisebridge.
