< Monthly Civic Action Night (In-Person) />
Hello to all, we are having a February Civic Action Night this Thursday on 2/16/2023 at our usual 6:30 pm time slot at Action Spot. Come for the food, stay for the vibes : )
Our venue will be at ActionSpot, just on the edge of downtown San Jose, with some hybrid options available if you're unable to make it in-person. We've got a few 'go out and touch grass' activities with other organizations,
We are a coding brigade dedicated to using our skills and backgrounds in tech to better our community. Whether it’s coding, app design, or simply consultation and volunteer work, Code For San Jose is a platform for individuals to get involved, get experience, make a difference, and meet other people who are also techie+art-minded and interested in getting involved in the local community.

Every other week, OpenStreetMap enthusiasts from across San José and the South Bay meet to share tagging advice, hatch mapping plans, and chat about the project in general.
If you’re new to the South Bay or OpenStreetMap, swing by at the beginning of the meeting for a friendly introduction. To learn more about South Bay OSM and what we’re currently up to, visit our homepage. Stay in touch with mappers throughout the state by joining the OSMUS Slack workspace’s #local-california channel.
South Bay OSM is supported by Code for San José, which connects coders, designers, and others with local civic organizations and government agencies to improve life in the South Bay. For volunteer opportunities, attend one of CfSJ’s separate Civic Action Nights or join the CfSJ Slack or Discord server.
