Hi All,<BR>
<BR>
At the launch event a lot of you asked for introductory talks at the<BR>
start of our meetups. So, this month, we give you introductory talks!<BR>
<BR>
7.00pm<BR>
Free Google Tools to help hacks become hackers<BR>
Chewy Trewhella, Google<BR>
Chewy, a Developer Advocate at Google, will run through some tips and<BR>
tricks using free Google applications that may help hacks starting out<BR>
on the road to hacking. Chewy, who is particularly knowledgeable about<BR>
Google's APIs and webmaster programmes, will also be able to answer<BR>
questions and offer advice to those who are more technically minded.<BR>
<BR>
7.30pm<BR>
A Do's and Don't's guide to hacks and hacking<BR>
Jonathan Richards and Julian Burgess, The Times<BR>
Over the past 18 months Jonathan Richards (a hack turned hacker) and<BR>
Julian Burgess (a hacker turned hack) have built the data unit at The<BR>
Times, doing everything from assisting the news desk sort through data<BR>
for stories, to writing a weekly data column for the magazine,<BR>
producing smaller, data-driven graphics for the web, and building<BR>
larger applications like the Good University Guide and the paper's<BR>
online election site. In their talk - 'A Do's and Don't's guide to<BR>
hacks and hacking', they give some practical advice to those looking<BR>
to explore the crossover between journalism and technology.<BR>
<BR>
We've got lots more free events in the pipeline for future meetups,<BR>
but they will of course depend on the numbers we get to the sessions.<BR>
So, please do come a long and support us if you can!<BR>
<BR>
