Philly Startup Leaders Happy Hour – Maybe its because of the group’s admitted mission to continue the enthusiasm of Philly Tech Week, but we never think its a bad idea to drink beers with your fellow entrepreneurs. Center City. Tuesday. 6 p.m. INFO.

Ruby Hack Night - The folks at Philly.rb have two events this week, but we’re partial to anything with the word “hack” in it. Work on your Ruby project along with your fellow Ruby enthusiasts for that last bit of motivation. Rittenhouse Square. Monday. 6 p.m. INFO.

CiviCRM Meetup – Whenever there’s a new meetup in town, we always like to feature in our Event Highlights. This week’s launch is the CiviCRM meetup for users of the “constituent relationship management solution.” Sounds like there’s some cross over with Open Data Philly, eh? Center City. Thursday. 6:30 p.m. INFO.
