    <title>Dec  3, 2009: GNOME.Asia Summit at Tbd (pune)</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The GNOME.Asia Summit 2009 is aimed towards a much wider coverage by pulling in users and developers (hmm… what’s new you say ?), ISVs, OEMs (especially NetBook OEMs), tools and infrastructure folks, documentation folks and of course participants from other desktop environments. Since we may (or, most likely may not) know all these folks, if you’d be knowing someone who should be at the event, do help us get in touch with them (drop a comment on this blog entry and, I’ll make sure that we are talking). Additionally, pass the word around to your favorite GNOME folks in order to cajole/coax/tantrum them into attending. And, if you are a company who is interested in sponsorship - you are one person I’d love to start a conversation with the moment I return from my (supposed ;)) vacation.<br /><br />
This page will be updated with details as they become available.<br />

    <description><![CDATA[Pre-registration is open for the Best in the Midwest  Street Fighter IV Tournament.  Tournament will follow the EVO Tournament.

The following also applies:<br /><br />
- BYOC (Bring Your Own Controller) Format.  If the controller legitimately works on the X-Box 360, it is eligible, but no macro recording, turbo, or other &quot;special&quot; functionality will be allowed.  Default X-Box 360 Controllers will be provided to anyone who does not bring their own.<br /><br />
- All characters will be available for selection.  There will be some restrictions in place to prevent known glitches / infinite combo attacks between certain characters.<br /><br />
- A match will consist of best 2 out of 3 rounds, in a best 2 out of 3 games format.<br /><br />
- Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three places at a rate proportional to the number of attendees.  Prize money will be awarded to finishers at a 6/3/1 split. The total, minimum prize pool will be $300.  1st place will be awarded $180 minimum, 2nd place will receive $90 minimum, and third place will get $30 minimum.  Entry fees will be used to cover tournament expenses, but if all of those are covered... any remaining fees will go into the prize pool as well!<br /><br />
All money generated through donations, sponsorships, advertisements, and entry fees will be used for the tournament expenses, site maintenance, and prizes.  This is a not-for-profit event.<br /><br />
You can register for the tournament at www.soofoogamers.com.  This cements your entry fee at $10.  Anyone entering the tournament the day-of will be charged $15, so register early!  This event will be open to the general public as an all ages event.  There will be a few machines set up for casual and friendly play.  Bring your friends!<br /><br />

    <title>Jul 25, 2009: Help put Santa Clara on the Map! at Mission City Coffee</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Are you interested in learning more about maps, map making, and new community mapping trends? If so, stop by our mapping party! Mapping parties are events where anyone can come and participate in the OpenStreetMap project. OpenStreetMap is a global, open source map that can be contributed, edited and used by anyone anywhere. It could be considered a wikipedia of maps. You can learn more about OpenStreetMap, and the amazing mapping projects being carried out, here: wiki.openstreetmap.org<br /><br />
Mapping parties are social events where experienced and new mappers can meet to share and learn more about the project. The event is open to everyone, from open source enthusiasts, cyclists, GIS professionals, geocachers, and beyond.<br /><br />
GPS units available for attendees to use throughout the day. The first hour will be dedicated to introducing OSM and learning how to use the GPS units. The second and third hour will be time for mapping (by foots, car or bike), and the last two hours will be focused on using the OSM editors. Feel free to attend for the entire day (or the whole weekend) or stop by for one of the mini-tutorials.<br /><br />
We will also be testing out a new paper mapping project, so stop by to learn more (!<a rel="nofollow" href="http://walking-papers.org/">http://walking-papers.org/</a>)<br /><br />
This event is Saturday July 25th  from 11:00am to 4:00pm. On Sunday July 26th we will be hosting a bike ride. You can find all the details here: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_Mapping_Party_July2009">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_Mapping_Party_July2009</a><br />

    <title>Jul 13, 2009: Develop &amp; Sharpen Your Message Webinar at Community Media Workshop</title>
    <description><![CDATA[WEBINAR : Develop and Sharpen Your Message Webinar<br /><br />
A compelling message moves your audiences to action... but even before the Internet, &quot;message&quot; was much more than words. Learn the elements that will help your organization craft powerful messages concisely and convincingly--from concept to wordsmithing to getting buy-in from colleagues and supervisors to roll-out.<br /><br />
Delivered by Valerie Denney, principal, Valerie Denney Communications<br />
It’s good to be idealistic, but ideals change nothing unless effectively communicated and pursued. So while Valerie Denney may have strong feelings about social justice and environmental sustainability, progressive clients seek her help because she has the seasoned judgment, strategic sense, energy and attention to detail required if good intentions are to produce measurable results. For over two decades Valerie has delivered professional public relations services to organizations, agencies and individuals working for positive social change. She does this not by grinding out press releases or badgering the “usual suspects” in the media (though she is a master of the terse, timely release and is well-respected by reporters and editors in Chicago and beyond). Instead, Valerie works with clients to articulate core messages, identify key audiences, translate complex issues into simple but evocative language … and then reach out for maximum impact.<br /><br />
2 p.m. to 3:15 p.m Monday, July 13 and Tuesday, Sept. 22<br /><br />
Registration is required <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gifttool.com/registrar/ShowEventDetails?ID=1253&amp;EID=4768">http://www.gifttool.com/registrar/ShowEventDetails?ID=1253&amp;EID=4768</a><br />

    <title>Jul 11, 2009: Historical walking tour of Union City&#39;s Alvarado area at Union City Historical Museum</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Walk down Memory Lane (also known as Smith Street in Union City) and learn it had a Chinatown until the late 1920s.<br /><br />
Bronco Billy&#39;s Pizza is reported to have a ghost named &quot;Sam.&quot;<br /><br />
Alameda County&#39;s first courthouse was in Alvarado.<br /><br />
The Odd Fellows Hall housed a theater.<br /><br />
These and other little-known facts and places are included in a free historical walking tour of Union City&#39;s old Alvarado district.<br /><br />
Although the city was incorporated 50 years ago when the towns of Alvarado and Decoto united, Alvarado&#39;s history goes back another 100 years. It was created by the merging of three even smaller communities known as Union City, New Haven and Alvarado.<br /><br />
Tim Swenson, chairman of Union City&#39;s 50th Anniversary Historical Committee, will lead participants down Smith Street, Union City Boulevard and Horner Street. Stopping at historic buildings along the way, he will share the fascinating stories of the 1940s Alvarado fire house, the site where Alvarado Grammar School was built in 1878, the location of Chinatown gambling dens and a bordello, the 1862 site of St. Anne&#39;s Church, the marker where Alameda County&#39;s first courthouse was located in 1853, and buildings that housed saloons, cobblers and a blacksmith shop.<br /><br />
A tour booklet is also included in this trip through local history, which begins at the Union City Historical Museum. <br /><br />
Free.<br />

    <title>Jul 16, 2009: Sample the Arts at Atlantic Works Building</title>
    <description><![CDATA[East Boston, Mass. area residents are invited to &quot;Sample the Arts,&quot; a free event at 80 Border Street featuring art, music, dancing and food on the East Boston waterfront.<br /><br />
The evening&#39;s program includes a display of paintings by local artist June Krinsky-Rudder, world music by Marie Alessandro &amp; Miguel Vargas, dancing, refreshments, and a performance by the Border Street Dancers. Mayor Menino will stop by for a &quot;Meet and Greet.&quot;<br /><br />
The 80 Border Street Cultural Exchange Center will put a spotlight on East Boston&#39;s rich cultural heritage and diverse community at their Atlantic Works Building waterfront location overlooking the inner Boston Harbor and the bridge over the Mystic River.<br /><br />
&quot;Spending time in East Boston is like traveling somewhere exotic without a passport,&quot; said Pj Schott, Sample the Arts&#39; organizer. &quot;I have lived all over the world and rarely have I seen such a vibrant mix of great food, fascinating people, and intriguing art bordered by historic settings, a magnificent waterfront, and stunning views of a downtown city skyline.&quot;<br /><br />
80 Border Street Cultural Exchange Center is a non-profit performing, visual and literary arts center dedicated to the educational and cultural needs of East Boston and surrounding communities, as well as visitors to the Boston area. The center supports a meaningful exchange of ideas, a chance to discover, to create, to learn, to be inspired and to inspire others. <br /><br />

    <title>Jul 18, 2009: BEAST Bloggers Camp at TechLiminal</title>
    <description><![CDATA[&quot;East Bay&quot; is Pig Latin for &quot;beast&quot;, a name that has all the power of bloggers in the SF Bay Area who are the eyes and ears of the East Bay community. In honor of all the East Bay bloggers, Spot.Us, Tech Liminal and BetterOakland are hosting their first BEAST Bloggers Camp on Saturday July 18, 2009 at TechLiminal in downtown Oakland.<br />
A BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants.<br /><br />
The day consists of sessions proposed by attendees and the schedule is created on site the morning of the event. BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn from each other in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.<br />
WHAT TO EXPECT AT CAMP:<br /><br />
The day will start at 8am with an hour of socializing over coffee and pastries. At 9am sharp we will give directions on how to propose a topic and then we will create a schedule. We will be harvesting the minds and expertise of all the people in the room to come up with topics pertinent to blogging about the East bay. If you’d like to lead a session you’re going to want to speak up with your topic idea at 9am, when the schedule is being created.<br />
If you’re an East Bay blogger or write about the East Bay please join us!<br />
WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO BRING: Your own coffee mug.<br />
 A beverage holding container for your day’s h2O (cup, water bottle, etc…)  A head full of topic ideas Your laptop (free wi-fi provided.) If you are not so inclined to arrive with electronic note-taking items a simple notebook and pen will do. Lots of business cards. This is a great networking opportunity. You can get a quick turnaround from Zazzle.com, Moocards or PSPrint if you are in need of cards.<br /><br />
Please Note:  The cost for this event is on a sliding scale, and will be used to pay our rent, insurance, and refreshments, .  If you would like to register, but cannot afford the cost, you may pay as much as you can, or volunteer.  We can use some help with event registration, publicity, and more.  Contact us (<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:info@techliminal.com">info@techliminal.com</a>) for more details.ards.<br /><br />
