Collaborative Work Day, March 7th
12:43 pm in Events, News by TDAC
We’ll start with as much time as people want to work this Saturday, then see if we want to do another day on Saturday the 14th.
Where: 115 E Broadway Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85701 (map)
When: March 7th, 2009 from 10am to 5pm?
Come and participate for as much of the time as you wish: a few minutes, an hour, or all day. Designers, copywriters, coders, thinkers, tinkerers—all are welcome to join the collaboration. There should be something for everyone, but we’ll probably focus on WordPress plugins and themes.
Bring your laptop.

If you have ideas of things to add to the list, please submit a comment below and come with your ideas on Saturday.
Sounds great, count me in for the whole day.
Ill defiantly stop by. I don’t think i can stay the whole day though.
I’ll be there, and I have a possible coworker coming (he isn’t a member of TDAC yet but might come by to help out).
I’ll be there.
I’ll stop in and see if I can offer a hand. I’m not listed as a member of TDAC, but I’d like to be.
Ok… I posted to a different spot on this site. Obviously I’m lost and I think that might point to some info design issues? Anyway, I’ll be there on Sat. and look forward to meeting some people and hacking WP.
