Event Highlights for December 28 – January 3, 2010

The kids are home from school this week, and the events calendar looks like it.

Aside from an open house with a growing institution and a new member lunch with the Indyhall boys and girls, this calendar is as empty as reporter Sean Blanda‘s social calendar or, uhm, last week’s events roundup.

We can only assume we don’t have anything for the night of Dec. 31 because our technology and entrepreneurship community versions of New Year’s Eve are just like everyone else’s — and that might not involve getting up at 8 a.m. for the Mummer’s Day Parade, even if Kevin Bacon came to their rescue.

Everyone is sure to rebound for a big, bold 2010. We’re going to share our resolutions with you in January — seriously — so why don’t your tech ones with us? For now, the last week of events in 2009.. and one in 2010.

Event Highlights for December 21 – December 27, 2009

It’s that time of year, Philadelphia. Candy canes, snow and presents should have you thinking of one thing: tech events.

Well, maybe that’s just the staff of Technically Philly. However, despite our love for tech, our calendar is feeling the effects of the holiday season with only two events to speak of.

First, The Philadelphia User Group reps the west side and chats maps in the ‘burbs and Hive 76 hopes you attend its open house before settling in for the holidays.

Details for both after the jump along with a special South Philly Christmas poem.

Event Highlights for November 23–29, 2009

Can we vote right now that Thanksgiving is the best holiday of the year? Food, family, football and no gift pressure make it an ideal combination for a (relatively) stress free holiday. But what’s good for your stomach isn’t necessarily good for our events calendar. The upcoming holiday has left us a little thin.

Before you scuttle off to Mom’s house for some cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, there are a few events worth attending. After all, don’t you want to be prepared to talk about Linux when Uncle Mike asks you what you have been up to?

Later today, famous West Coast web hosting company Laughing Squid along with one of the brains behind the original Ignite events are having beers in Old City. Then, tomorrow, the Philadelphia Linux Users Group group gets one last meeting in before going home.

All events listed on the event calendar are free to attend. Be sure to check our complete calendar for more.
