    <full-description>Refresh Pittsburgh is off to a new start in Pittsburgh!

The goal of Refresh Pittsburgh is to create a open community of designers and developers working to refresh the creative, technical, and professional culture of Internet developers in the Pittsburgh area. Whether you are a web developer, flash guru, programming wizard, graphic designer, project manager extraordinarie or just want to learn more and share ideas with like-minded people, we want you to be a part of our group.

To get things started, we are holding an informal meet &amp; greet at the Craig St. Kiva Han in Oakland on Wednesday, May 30th at 7:00.  We would like to share our ideas and plans about Refresh with you and also hear your ideas for the future of the group. Stop by, say hello and meet some folks. Don't forget to bring a healthy appetite for coffee-shop sweets, java, and a stack of business cards pass around.

Please visit out website at http://www.refreshpittsburgh.org/ and RSVP so we have a good idea of how many people will turn out.</full-description>
