Meetup Announcement:
"While a part of the Open Data community, I have found success in telling a few stories about what was happening in the city of Chicago. That success came from existing working, and newly formed community, relationships. This presentation will provide a perspective of the community, how it helps building a career, how it helps in fostering relationships, and the value it offers to technology, and other, communities."
--Chad W Pry (cofounder of OpenCity)
