Gangplank

[Alan Dayley]

Gangplank is an awesome place for creativity, knowledge sharing and the
spirit of entrepreneurship.  I go there as often as possible.  They are
creating some amazing things to expand their support of the community.  Give
them a few more months when the classrooms and other things open up!

That said, I'm lucky to be there about twice a month, to a lunch time "brown
bag" presentation or another event.  I have been spending most of my free
time on the team running the Phoenix Scrum User group (http://phxsug.org)
and helping with the Ignite Phoenix (http://ignitephoenix.com) events.  Some
amazing people in those communities!

Metro Phoenix is really cranking with energy these days!
