Pints Brewing

This month we're going to switch things up just a bit; it will be our last meetup of 2016 so let make it a little more casual and get together at Pints!

This Thursday will be all about the OpenStack Summit in Barcelona. Clark Boylan, Christopher Aedo (and an additional surprise guest or two) will lead a discussion of all the fun from Barcelona. We will talk about both the marketing side of the summit as well as the dev side, including the conversations (and controversy?) around the new "Project Team Gatherings" coming next year.

If you missed out on Barcelona, please join us for a fun update and conversation!

This week's topic is personal identity management.

The morning's announcement of Google's new Home product, like Amazon Echo, spurred some thoughts on how we could have better systems for managing access to personal identity data. "I want a central registry of my information, and a way to control who can access it." Amazon wants to know your home address? Grant permission from your storage location (app? website?), and it sends your address to Amazon.

Hack night edition! Are you building your own website? Indie reader? Personal publishing web app? Or some other digital magic-cloud proxy? If so, come on by and join a gathering of people with likeminded interests. Bring your friends that want to start a personal web site. Exchange information, swap ideas, talk shop, or help work on a project!

This is a pre-party for IndieWebCamp 2015! Everyone is welcome to the pre-party regardless of whether you're coming to IndieWebCamp, and drink tickets will be provided for registered attendees thanks to our sponsors!.

Register for a ticket and add yourself to the 2015 guest list before all the spots fill up!

Hello fellow OpenStack developers. We seem to be growing in size so lets have some drinks and say hello!

Dont fear, chatting about OpenStack in particular will not be required (or even encouraged). This is mostly a social thing to get to know other locals who are hacking on the same project.

Things to discuss: Favorite hacking locations. What to do during a 13hr trip to Paris. When do we get Google fiber?

Things to NOT discuss: Can I get a review/feature in OpenStack.

Hope to see you there! -greghaynes

P.S. Im hoping to make this a somewhat regular thing, although im not sure of the frequency... maybe monthly?

Bot Hacking Edition

On Tuesday we learned about the Twitter REST and Streaming API, why not use that knowledge to build an application? We will spend the afternoon making kick ass apps! Missed the Twitter API presentation? No worries, read through the twitter documentation, and browse through the Mining the Social Web repo for more background. All questions, languages, and levels are welcomed!

It's been a year since we've joined Esri, and we've done a bunch of awesome stuff since then! Come celebrate with us!

Thanks to everyone who joined us last time! As usual, drinks on us!

We'll also play some games of MapAttack!
