Guelph Coffee and Code: April 15

14 Apr

coffee

Welcome Technology Community members, I apologize for the delay in this weeks post.

Please Note: the Time and Location change in this weeks event. 

To appeal to the technology hub in Downtown Guelph this weeks event will begin shortly after the work day ends. We hope that this will attract some people that have been meaning to come out, but haven’t gotten the chance to make it to an event.

To reiterate, Guelph Coffee and Code is a very relaxed environment in which you can show up when you please, and leave when you wish.  We enjoy the flexibility of this model as we like to encourage community building through networking, but also try to promote the ability to work on projects [Community based, or Personal]. We are also a great resource of help, just incase you are stuck on some code.

This week come out to work or relax with some like minded individuals. Cory is hoping to show off some of the Open Data Applications and Feeds that he has come across. If you want to gather some resources on Open Data check out the Focused twitter account @OpenGuelph.Drawing of Downtown Guelph

Without further ado….

Venue: Coco Latte
Address: 55 Wyndham Street N. Guelph, Ontario
Date: Thursday April 15, 2010
Time: 6pm – 8pm

Ring, Ring, Ring, Bring out your Data

10 Apr

Cory FowlerCory Fowler, Founder of Guelph Coffee and Code, decided to rally the community to create a movement to get Guelph to open up its data. The movement began with creating a social presence on Twitter, under the username @OpenGuelph which provided a channel to tweet the benefits that OpenData could bring.

From there Cory went on to respond to a recent blog entry “Let’s Talk – about Guelph” by Honourable Mayor Karen Farbridge.

The City of Guelph informed Cory that they are currently working on an Open Data plan, and are open to suggestions on what to include in their documents. Cory hopes that he will be able to sit on an advisory board to help mold the open data initiative that is underway. He will be looking to the Guelph Coffee & Code members for their suggestions and ideas.

OData-logo With Cory’s background in Microsoft’s Cloud Computing Platform, Windows Azure, and the recent release of the Open Data Protocol, he hopes that he will be a great asset to the City in their task.

Once the City releases the data publicly, Guelph Coffee and Code will be starting a number of projects that will consume the data using various technologies. Our goal with these projects is to enrich the Community of Guelph, while we teach new skills to our growing Information Technology sector.

Guelph Coffee and Code: April 8th

06 Apr

coffeebeanscupandscoop Are you from Guelph or the Surrounding area? Are you interested in joining a Technology Community where you can learn new technologies and programming languages from your peers?  Maybe it’s time you stop by Guelph Coffee and Code.

Coffee and Code is a relaxed User Group where you can come out and join like minded individuals to get help with some code you’re working on, chat with other programmers from a variety of development backgrounds, or just get out of the house to work on or show off a development project you’ve been working on.

In an effort to attract some new members, we’ll be continuing another tour of Wi-Fi enabled locations in Guelph. This week we’ll be nice and close to the University of Guelph, checking out Williams Coffee Pub. If you’re in the Computer and Information Science (CIS) Program or a member of SOCIS feel free to come join us!

Open for Discussion at this weeks meeting is our Founder, Cory Fowler’s, Call to Action for OpenData [aka OData] in Guelph! [Follow @OpenGuelph on Twitter]

The OpenData Initiative is starting to catch on in Canada with early adopters Vancouver and Edmonton. With the Growing Technology Industry, and Technology Community Groups turning up in Guelph, there is no better time to harness the power of OpenData.

Date: Thursday April 8th, 2010
Time: 7:30pm – 9:30pm
Location: Williams Coffee Pub [492 Edinburgh Rd. South, Guelph Ontario, Canada]

Guelph Coffee and Code: 1st Anniversary

05 Mar

Guelph Coffee and Code Celebrated it’s 1st anniversary tonight.

It seems funny that a technology event is getting it’s first website 1 year after creation.  Thanks to Joey deVilla for hosting us at www.coffeeandcode.org for so long.  From this point forward feel free to check out Guelph Coffee and Code events here.  We’re still on Facebook and have just been added to LinkedIn.

At any rate, I look forward to continue to Develop Guelph Coffee and Code.
