About Refresh Columbia
Who are we?
We are simply a group of designers & developers in Columbia who are excited about the web.
What is Refresh?
We’ve come together under the umbrella of refreshingcities to establish an open community where we can share what we know, grow better at what we do and have fun.
According to refreshingcities.org:
Refresh is a community of designers and developers working to refresh the creative, technical, and professional culture of New Media endeavors in their areas. Promoting design, technology, usability, and standards.
These goals are enforced by The Refresh Manifesto:
- Let’s Gather Great Minds
- Let’s Share All Of Our Knowledge
- Let’s All Grow And Learn
- Let’s Promote Local Talent
- Let’s Be More Than We Think We Can Be
- Let’s Make Our Cities Better
How can I get involved?
Simple. Come on out and join us. We get together once a month, usually on the last Wednesday. Typically our meetups consist of a presentation or two followed by a social (for those interested) at a local bar or restaurant. We’re always looking for presenters, so if you enjoy talking about web design/development, please let us know.
What’s up with the bottle cap?
“Cola” is a locally accepted abbreviation for Columbia, hence the Cola Cap Logo and our mirror domain: http://www.refreshcola.org.
