A Developer Community in Crete

There's a lot of us, devs, here in Crete. Yet, we hardly ever get together in
large groups, or even know each other – somewhat strange for our small
community, we hope you'll agree. This group is an attempt at bringing us all
together for informal chats about what we're all passionate about: technology
and software. Join the meetup, learn, teach, speak your mind, sharpen your
skills, share the knowledge and help us build a community where devs can openly
exchange ideas!
