Tuesday, October 3, 2017 at 7:00:00 PM Tannin Wine Bar & Kitchen 1526 Walnut Street, Kansas City, MO

Open to anyone in the area who is interested in developing video games. In order to have a little structure, we'll try to do a couple things each week:

Introduce new members. What have you worked on, game related or not? What do you want to work on next?

Discuss this week's conversation starter. Some article, video or game that we can dig into a little.

Members can present any games they're working on, for feedback or just to brag.

Of course, it's all very informal. The main goal is interesting conversation(s) about our passion.

Looking forward to it!

Monday, October 2, 2017 at 7:00:00 PM Centriq Training 8700 State Line Road, Leawood, KS

Can't make it to MAX this year? We are bringing MAX to you! 

Designer, trainer, and author Nigel French will be presenting a hands-on lab at Adobe MAX on Type and Layouts in InDesign CC. This popular lab has filled up three sessions at MAX and is currently filling up a fourth, but Nigel is joining us live online from California to give KCDesignCore a preview at our October meeting!

Adobe InDesign has powerful tools for typography, and Nigel literally wrote the book on it: In addition to being a prolific author on Lynda.com, Nigel's book, InDesign Type: Professional Typography with Adobe InDesign, is currently in its third edition. 

Take your type and layout skills in InDesign to the next level: prevent and fix common composition problems, structure your pages with layout grids and baseline grids, and make the most of margins, leading, and letter spacing. 

Join us at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 2, at Centriq Training, and bring a friend!

Interested in helping the Kansas City area? Great! Whether or not you know how to code, you can help by joining us to work on civic hacking to create a better Kansas City and surrounding cities. Bring projects, ideas, designs, laptops, data, and friends.

Please RSVP so that we know how many snacks & drinks to bring.

Civic Heroes of all types welcome! This event is for coders and non-coders alike -- as long as you're interested in making government more transparent and building interesting things for our city, you're more than welcome!

Bring a laptop: If you intend on getting some hands-on hacking done (it's ok if you can't but it definitely helps to have one).

On first Mondays, there will be pizza! We'll be getting some 'za from Sizzle Pie, so there will be a vegetarian option.

If you have something you'd like to work on or are excited about, please let us know via the meetup or at the hack night itself. We are growing our initiative and the energy comes from the community.
