Welcome! Marin Foodies is about sharing: recipes, food, restaurants, wine, cocktails, good company, food trivia (will need some help there), "foodie" books...anything to do with food and Marin County. I'm thinking of organizing the following events, in no particular order: 1) themed potlucks---some based on cuisine, some based on one chosen cookbook (check it out from the library if you don't already have a copy), some based on a chosen movie; 2) gourmet picnic hikes; 3) restaurants, of course; …

I'm reviving this group to transfer over the members from the Alameda Public Library Android Classes (which is now called the Alameda - Google Developer Group). This is both to expand the geographical location we're going to have our meetings in and to keep a more Android-topic focused group (while the Alameda - GDG is currently expanding its topics to non-Android related topics as well).

Its now 2013 and after a hiatus we're getting the group back on track so hope to see you all there on Tuesdays! Best, Jessa What is Coworking? Coworking is redefining the way we do work. The idea is simple: that independent professionals, freelancers, and those with workplace flexibility work better together than they do alone.¹ Coworking answers the question that so many face when working from home: “Why isn’t this as fun as I thought it would be?” Beyond just creating better places to work, co …

"It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.

This Meetup group is for at-home dads in San Francisco! We're all about our kids and doing fun stuff with them during the "work week" (M-F): walks and hikes and playgrounds and sports and art and beer and books... anything really. All of us play a sizable caregiving role with our little ones, but some of us balance that role with part-time work, working evenings or weekends, consulting, project-based work, looking for a job, etc. Our meetups tend to occur on Mondays at 10am (rotating between Dol …

There are several Meetup book clubs in the East Bay, but many of them are specialized (e.g., women-only, we only read such-and-such books, etc.), or their meetings fill to capacity so fast that I never get a chance to rsvp - so I decided to start this one. I previously participated in a fantastic book club in Chicago, which gave me the opportunity to read some great books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I hope to continue that trend here! This is a mixed-gender book club for anyon …

This group is designed for developers looking to discover APIs and services that can help speed up and modularize their development and so time is not wasted re-inventing wheels. We will meet and learn the ins and outs of a new API every week, and why that API is relevant to development. Every API demo will be fun and engaging, and the goal of this meetup is not only to learn, but to also have a great time and make friends!

As the attendance increases, I will begin projecting it for better visibility. The races tend to land on a weekend and the final race on a Sunday. What circuit the race is at and the time zone, will …
