Re: [openlexington] Feb. Meeting: 2.29.2012 - Code Across America & CityCampLex planning

Chase,

Do you have an event registration for the 3rd? Let's get Lexington on the map!

http://codeforamerica.org/code-across-america/

If you have your group and don't need registration then give me another event page to which I can link.

A lot about art mapper will be figured out this weekend. I think the community is trending toward merging code bases into a central app that we can all join. My city is also working art mapper 2-4 March as is San Diego so we can work together. Norfolk has data already. Our focus will be on porting it to more useful interfaces, including mobile.

Best,

Kevin
