I'd like to invite you to the first meetup of the new Hacker Within Davis
Chapter [1]. The monthly meetup's purpose is to build community around
scientific computing and data technologies. The meeting is structured as a
tutorial or discussion, followed by lightning talks, and a collaborative
programming session. It is modeled after the successful chapters at
University of Wisconsin-Madison and UC Berkeley.

The first tutorial topic will be "Web Scraping" given by Duncan Temple
Lang. See this page for more information on preparing for the tutorial and
information about the speaker:

http://www.thehackerwithin.org/davis/posts/web-scraping/

It will be held in the Data Science Initiative Room in Shields Library
(Room 360, Third Floor) on Thursday January 14th at 5:10pm.

During this first meeting we will also spend some time getting to know each
other and planning the goals and future topics of the group.

Everyone with interest in the group and its future is welcome to attend.

If you'd like to give a lightning talk at the first meetup, let me know or
submit a pull request to the website repository [2].

Spread widely!
