Next Meeting October 7

Hi all,

We’re going to hold our next Open Tucson meeting on Thursday, October 7 at 6:30pm at Spoke 6. (map)

If anyone has anything they want to talk about, let me know! For now, this is a list of possible/likely topics:

1. Quick demo of “busted” kiosk (Ian Johnson)

2. City Camp intro (Andrew Greenhill)

“CityCamp is an unconference focused on innovation for municipal governments and community organizations.” Do we want to hold one here?

3. SunnyConf report from Kit Plummer:

“I was hanging with Luigi Montanez (Sunlight Labs) and Marc Chung (founder of PHXData.org) this weekend at SunnyConf – and we talked about trying to find some ways to get the Phoenix and Tucson mindshares together.  There’s a target “AppsFor” contest I believe – but, data sources are still the big question.”

3. Demo of some good open source apps:

bike crashes in tucson (map & twitter)
vantrash website (vancouver)
more!

Spoke 6 is a co-working space run by Tim Bowen. We will have a projector, and there’s an (empty) refrigerator that keeps beer nice and cold.
