    • As freelancers, we're always looking for more work, but should you really take on that next client? What are they going to be like to work with? Are they going to pay their bills? Are you going to drown in email and indecision?
      We're going to talk about these questions, red flags, bad experiences, and more at this meetup. Come with your questions, tips and tricks you use to separate the wheat from the chaff, and anything else you got.
      See you then

    Next week's meeting is sponsored by Confio Software.

    Meeting Schedule for Thursday, May 30th, 2012:
    Dean Richards from Confio Software will be presenting: Query Tuning - Getting it Right the First Time
    Please note that the meeting time has changed considerably!  I wasn't able to get the meeting put together last month, so I'm playing catch-up this month.  We've also been talking about bringing back evening meetings due to the number of people that can't make the afternoon meetings.  This means we may be playing the meeting times by ear, for a little while anyway.  Confio has graciously offered to come speak and will be providing food and drinks for this meeting.  
    We will be meeting at the Centriq training facility in the Seminar room.  Once you get to the Centriq entrance (Second floor, Suite 200), the Seminar room is all the way at the end on the left side.  There should be someone at the desk up front that can direct you if have trouble finding us.
    • 5:30 - 5:45 - Greeting and Housekeeping
    • 5:45 - 7:00 - Query Tuning - Getting it Right the First Time
    • 7:00 - 7:15 - Door Prizes and wrap up
    We look forward to seeing you all soon!
    Location:
    Centriq

    National Day of Civic Hacking, June 1-2

    While some may associate “hacking” with malicious software geeks, in the current context, this whole email list is composed of “civic hackers”—citizens who worked hard and independently to effect the change they want to see in their community during the rally period last summer.

    Interested in celebrating this year's National Day of Civic Hacking in Kansas City? Here are three ways you can get involved:

    1) Join a team to help tackle a specific community problem. 

    2) Attend a civic technology expo that features application demos to help you build the community you want.

    3) Participate in a Write-A-Thon, an event that unites neighborhood experts, leaders and residents to provide content for the community site, WikiKC.org. The Write-A-Thon will be led by Andrew Hyder, our 2013 Code for America Fellow. 

    Check out the Hack Kansas City | National Day of Civic Hacking website for a complete schedule and online registration.
