It’s another rainy start of the week here in Washington, DC, and the weather reports are showing that no one is quite sure when we’ll get some relief or any sunshine. At least there are some fun technology events happening in the city this week to distract you from the gray weather. Here’s a quick look at the meetups that caught our eye this week. You can find a full listing of the week’s events over at DC Tech Events.
Wednesday, May 6
6:00 pm
ICT for Development Learning Network May Meetup: It’s no surprise that in this city there’s a large and growing community of techies working in international development. This meetup is a great chance to meet people in this niche and also influence the direction of meetups moving forward – the group is taking ideas.
6:30 pm
Northern Virginia Drupal May Meetup: The greater Washington, DC area has a large and active community of Drupal developers and users, and this meetup is a great opportunity to meet these people, pick their brains with coding questions, and figure out if your next CMS should be Drupal. This is taking place right over the river by the Court House metro.
6:30 pm
Introduction to CiviCRM Training: Finding the best CRM is a huge – and often constant – question for many organizations. This meetup will talk about what the open source system CiviCRM has to offer and give some information on how to get started with it.
Thursday, May 7
EntrepreSocial Tweetup: Who doesn’t love a tweetup? Bring your cell phones and come out for this tweetup for entrepreneurs and social media enthusiasts. Or follow along at #esocial.
Saturday, May 9
Sex 2.0: Put on your geek glasses and then it’s exactly what it sounds like – an event looking at how social networking, online transparency, and other “web 2.0” tools are impacting sex and sexuality.
Hope to see you out this week!
