St. Paul Monthly Meetup

We're back at Granicus (https://granicus.com/) in downtown St. Paul! This month we are going to experiment with our usual meeting format and focus on two specific projects. Come join us for some food and some work on Adopt A Tree.

Do you have ideas for other projects? Please comment below on any ideas or projects you might want to work on.

Adopt A Tree

Every year the Minneapolis Park Board plants boulevard trees through out the city that need to be watered in the summer. Brewing A Better Forest (http://www.brewingabetterforest.com/), in partnership with several local breweries, is encouraging folks to water trees near their house in exchange for some free beer. Adopt a Tree (http://adoptatree.brewingabetterforest.com/) is the site where users can find near by trees and signup to water them. It is a Ruby on Rails application with a fair bit of JavaScript and a set of issues to look at on GitHub (https://github.com/OpenTwinCities/adopt-a-tree/issues).
