Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib in San Diego?
Yeah, it's probably very unlikely that I would travel to LA for a meet up - I commuted to LA from SD for two years for school and haven't quite recovered from that. :) I mainly was hoping to connect with some more local library geeks for informal happy hour type get-togethers. Maybe we'll chat a little bit about library systems, but maybe we'll just talk about local craft beer. Hard to say at this point. -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Salazar, Christina Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2014 11:45 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib in San Diego? I'm not in San Diego but I am in Southern Cali and a part of the Southern Cali group, so I feel I can weigh in on this: If the people in SD want to meet and can find a convenient place to do so, for goodness sakes, let them and don't worry about meetup vs local code4lib.

One of us can pick you up at Union Station. You can return the favor when we have a meeting on your turf.
