Collaboration and innovation run hand and hand in the city of New Orleans. The tech community has made a point to show this city how effective collaboration can be by creating formal and informal groups that have meet ups. These communities range across different types of technology and cater to tech startups, entrepreneurs, freelancers, coders, web designers, and other lovers of technology. We've created a guide to help the local technologist keep up with these groups. If we missed one or have inaccurate information, please feel free to let us know in the comments:
