What is BitSlingers?
This is an informal meetup of people interested in learning from one another. Bring your laptop and pair up with someone to work on an open source project, learn a new technique, or even dabble in a new language. There is no agenda or specific topic, just a time set aside for people to pair.
The meetup officially kicks off at 6:00PM, but lasts until the last pair breaks up, or they kick us out. Feel free to come and join us for as long, or as short, of a time as you want to.
NOTE: There will be no food provided, but hey, we're at Panera.
August CinArc
Thursday, August 19th - 6:00PM - MAX Technical Training - Mason, OH

This meeting is run using an open discussion or open fishbowl technique where the attendees are encouraged to share their thoughts with everyone while keeping the meeting from becoming a free for all. :)
What topic will we cover? Well, that's up to the attendees!
As usual, pizza will be provided at no charge thanks to our sponsors!
