What?
New Orleans 2600 Meeting.
When?
The first Friday of each month at 6pm. The next meeting is April 7th, 2023.
Where?
Z'otz Coffee House uptown at 8210 Oak Street. Phone: 504-861-2224. We usually fill up the back patio area and sometimes set up a video projector back there.
Why?
2600 Meetings exist as a forum for all interested in technology to meet and talk about events in technology-land, learn, and teach. Meetings are open to anyone of any age or level of expertise.
How?
Often with laptops since there's free Wi-Fi. If one of us is ambitious, we might organize a presentation or topic for discussion. But we usually just chill-out and talk shop.
If there is a presentation planned, there's probably a thread about it in the New Orleans Meetings area of the Forums.

Yes. Gumbo Labs got its space in August of 2009. Come check it out.
