Summary

Do you want to use your free software skills and passion to help
under-served communities in the Boston area?

Last month, we brainstormed organizations to work with and how to
help. Join us this month as we start converting some of those
brainstorms into concrete actions.

Everyone is welcome! We need help with community outreach, creating
workshops, organization, video/audio recording/editing, graphics and
teaching.

Notes

In March, we'll return to more topic-based meetups.

Akamai has generously agreed to provide space and 'free as in food'
