So firstly, apologies for the gratuitous cross-posting of a different meetup, but it seems like something of interest to many member of this group - and will certainly be better than the recent spate of spam events by users such as "Cialis" which I have only just found out about and put a stop to!

So...

Aptivate have working with WWF and TRAFFIC to create TradeMapper, an online data mapping tool to help scientists and conservationists track international movement of wildlife to help put a stop to illegal trade.

On November 8th, we are planning a Hackday to bring together others who believe in the cause to begin to improve and extend TradeMapper (or maybe to explore what other uses it can be put to).

Full details can be found on the Meetup page for the Hackday.

If you would like to come, please RSVP.  If you know others who might be interested, please forward the link to them or tweet it to your followers (use the hashtag #trademapper).

Or if you think you might like to help in the future but can't make it on the 8th, just sign up to the Meetup Group and we'll keep you informed about future events and other ways to collaborate.

Thanks and hope to see some of you on the 8th

Matt

PS

It would be great to arrange Xmas Drinks but I don't think I have time - any volunteers?  I will cross-promote it to the Brighton Development Drinks group (mainly Sightsavers and HIV/AIDS Aliance) if someone can take ownership of it!
