Upcoming Events

Arranged

• Recurring meet-ups every other Tuesday (see main site [1] for more info).

Suggested

• New venue open day
• Regular evening/weekend space openings
• Art in interesting places - possibility of hack/craft workshop weekend in city centre location. To propose event plan etc. to coordinator.
• Leeds Light Night open for submission. Suggested undertaking: LED throwies on Old Broadcasting Tower >:D (will need plan for cost, permission and perhaps a cherry picker to retrieve the batch)
• OSM mini mapping party - Holbeck needs mapping properly, and I'm considering mapping it over the easter weekend - if anyone wants an easy intro to OSM then now's your chance. --Nav 15:32, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
