We're forming a Tracker User Group in the windy city, and the first meetup is scheduled for Jul 22, at the Hashrocket Chicago office.
I'll be there to talk about the concepts and history behind Tracker, our experience with it, and will give a demo to those that are interested. It's a great place to give feedback and ask lots of questions.
Space is limited, so RSVP soon.
The next scheduled meeting of the New York Tracker Users Group (NY.TUG) will be on July 1, at the Pivotal Labs New York office.
We will be giving an overview of the idea behind Pivotal Tracker and the common features. Based on time and interest, we'll also go into more detail about advanced features, upcoming features, and the philosophy behind Tracker.
Beverages and light snacks will be provided.
Please RSPV soon, as space is limited.

Perhaps you have heard about Pivotal Tracker but you don't know if it's a good fit for your organization. Perhaps you are a new user with some questions about how best to use the tool. Perhaps you've been using Tracker for a while but are curious about more advanced features. If you're in San Francisco next Tuesday we can give you answers in person.
The San Francisco Tracker Users Group is having a lunchtime meeting next Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. at the Pivotal Labs office on Market St. Please register on the Meetup site, as seating is limited.
Edward Hieatt, Principal at Pivotal Labs and Pivotal Tracker developer, will give an overview of the idea behind Pivotal Tracker and the common features.

Beverages will be provided, but please bring your own lunch.
