Special Developer Meetup with Mitcho Erlewine

Mitcho Erlewine, a friend of Mozilla, Automattic, WordPress, and all things awesome, will be presenting on numerous development topics, ranging from projects he's worked on, to best practices when writing and architecting code.

He's a brilliant developer and thinker, and we're really excited to be hosting him. While the discussion will be geared for developers, all are welcome. Learning through osmosis is a very powerful thing.
