  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here!

No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year.
