Agenda

The meeting starts at 6:30, and we'll get on with the main event at 7:00. 6:30 - 7:00 is reserved for chit chat, socializing, and pizza eating!

Bring a friend that's interested in mobile development, someone looking to refine their skills, or share what they have learned! The more the merrier.  We'll be going to Langermann's afterwards.  Langermann's is in the same area as the ETC. No driving required.

We are meeting at the ETC conference room in Canton.  Those that have been to Beehive Baltimore, or have been to events hosted in ETC should be familiar with where we will be.  If you are not familiar, visit http://beehivebaltimore.org/2010/10/13/video-tour-of-the-beehive/ to see a video tour of the beehive and find out exactly where it is the Canton Can Company building.
