We're having our first code meetup in Seattle. This is the first in what will hopefully be a monthly series on open source code development and the NewsCloud platform.

At the first session, we'll be talking about LAMP-based open source development tools and the open source Facebook Application Newsroom framework. If you're interested in learning more about Facebook application development, this will be a great introductory session.

I recommend that you have basic PHP/MySQL skills to get the most from this session.

Please RSVP so we can keep a headcount of how many people to expect.

WHEN: Tuesday, April 22, 6:30 - 8:30 PM
WHERE: Uptown Espresso meeting room in Belltown (corner of 4th and Wall)

Are you a Seattle-based nonprofit using the social web for social change, or a company that has a cool new social web product that nonprofits could use, or an innovator who has an idea for a new social web tool that you want to try out on a "do-good" audience?

We've got a gig for you.  Seattle's Net Tuesday is looking for speakers.  Net Tuesdays are monthly meetups across the country of social changemakers and web innovators who get together to network and share resources about how nonprofits can use the social web for social change.

Seattle's Net Tuesday is off to a great start. June's Net Tuesday was a great success, brining in over 30 attendees at our first event, and garnering a bit of press coverage, too.We've got even more up ourselves for July's Net Tuesday. Hosted again at the very lovely McLeod Residence in Belltown, we've got a promising slate of presenters.

They've only met once, and they are already in the news! Net Tuesday Seattle had a super succesful first Meetup last week with a great turnout and a post, Seattle Meetup Connects Geeks and Activists, in Monica Guzman's Seattle Post-Intelligencer blog.

My colleague Sarah Schacht of Knowledge As Power and I are co-organizing the kickoff of Seattle's first Net2 Tuesday. NetSquared is a Tech Soup venture to increase the adoption of Web 2.0 services by nonprofit organizations and others interested in creating a social benefit. The goal of NetTuesday is to create an ongoing peer-driven community event for the development of social software and real world applications in Seattle.

A new Net Tuesday group in Seattle is looking for a co-organizer and speakers.
