Hi Everybodeee! Just a reminder that Verdi R-D (azend in IRC) is
hosting an Ubuntu Hour on Thursday:
Event: Ubuntu Hour Guelph
Date: Thursday, 20 February 2014
Time: 7:00pm to 8:00pm (@azend knows how long an hour is)
Location: Pennywhistle Pub, 2 Quebec Street, Guelph, Ontario
Map: http://osm.org/go/ZXn8~Jfez?m=&node=2436574662
Organizer: Verdi R-D https://launchpad.net/~azend
Register: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2704/detail
I'm afraid I can't make it this time; I'm saving myself for OpenDataDay:
Event: Open Data Day Hackathon
Date: Saturday, 22 February 2014
Time: 10:00am to 4:30pm
Location: Kwartzlab Makerspace, 33 Kent Avenue, Kitchener, Ontario
Map: http://osm.org/go/ZXnwY4HA?m=&way=199095014
Register: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2705/detail
Organizer: OpenData Waterloo Region http://opendatawr.ca
More Info: http://wiki.opendataday.org/Waterloo_Region
There's an Open Data Hackathon in Guelph too, 24 hours long with a
contest and prizes and everything!
Event: Open Guelph Hackathon
Start: Saturday, 22 February 2014 at 9:00am
Finish: Sunday, 23 February 2014 at 1:00pm
Location: Atrium, Science Complex, U of Guelph, 50 Stone Road East
Map: http://osm.org/go/ZXn_Qveh--?way=136546715

Register:
https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/guelph-hackathon-registration-10579925843
Be sure to register before Saturday to get in. If you do go to the
Guelph hackathon, can you put an event in the Ubuntu LoCo event
portal? It's kinda lonely, having a Global Event with only one Ubuntu
chapter in it: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2703/
And for those people who don't want to travel to Guelph or Waterloo,
check to see if there's an OpenDataDay event near you:
http://wiki.opendataday.org/2014/City_Events If there isn't, you can
create your own! If you do, can you also add it to the Ubuntu LoCo
Global Event?
Finally, don't forget about the IRC/Video Chat meeting next week
Thursday, 27 February:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/Next This time we'll
have a Google Plus Hangout-On-Air to allow an unlimited number of
people to view. +JeffSmith is coordinating the video part; check out
the Ubuntu Canada LoCo page at
https://plus.google.com/116845700584173888571/ where you can join the
Hangout.
See you all at #ODD2014 !
