Christefano talked about:
• Coders with a Cause, a new name for an existing program at Droplabs down in Los Angeles, dedicated to building websites for non-profits and for-good startups and providing a teach-and-learn opportunities for all involved:

• The Coders with a Cause program is modeled after the successful code sprints, or "barn raisings", that Droplabs has hosted and / or produced over the years, including one for a Los Angeles timebanking community:

Jose talked about Startup SB, Crowdismo, the SB Hackerspace, an upcoming Startup Weekend in Santa Maria, and other projects and communities he's involved in around the Santa Barbara area.
Owen offered to give a presentation on TMGMT, a translation management tool:

We ran out of time, unfortunately, but it left us wanting more. Hopefully we'll see a presentation or two, including one from Owen on TMGMT!
It's likely that the next meetup will be at UCSB and Jose and Elda are working on securing a venue. We'll be organizing a carpool for the downtown area folks who'd like to attend and save on parking costs.
ps. By the way, there's now a TMGMT group on Drupal Groups that anyone can join:
