Monthly Meetup

As usual, this meeting will start with a presentation, then become an open lab time where we will work on projects. Come with ideas for projects, things you may have already started, or we'll try to match you up with an already existing project or idea.

Please comment below any ideas or projects you might want to work on.

Minnesota Bikeways

Biking is strong in the Twin Cities, thanks to miles of trails and lanes, a big community, and lots of bike focused organizations. There are also a number of applications out there for bikers, but none that really meet the needs of Twin Cities bikers. At Hennepin County's GeoCode (http://opentwincities.org/2015/02/22/geocode-projects/#minnesota_bike_ways), the Minnesota Bikeways team set out to fix that, and started on a responsive prototype based on Open Street Maps and Leaflet. Since then, the MN Bikeways team has continued to develope their idea and their prototype.

We're excited to welcome the Minnesota Bikeways team to the meetup! Join us on the 28th to learn more about the Minnesota Bikeways project and where it is heading.

We're Recording This

Want to see the MN Bikeways talk, but you can't make it to the Humphrey School? Well this month we're trying something again - we're going to record the presentation! If all works out, we'll have a video of this presentation to share with everybody after the meetup.
