Jonathan Gray and I are starting local meetups for OKFN mavens, hackers, enthusiasts in Cambridge and SF: http://www.meetup.com/OpenKnowledgeFoundation/Boston-MA http://www.meetup.com/OpenKnowledgeFoundation/San-Francisco-CA
Please join if you are interested, and indicate when you're free to meet. We are thinking about organizing a national event around free knowledge and shared data in the spring.
Warmly, SJ
