9. About Jelly Columbus
Formed at Co/elaborate08 on December 18 at
the Columbus Metropolitan Library
Group member Issac Kelly told us about Bryce's
Corkboard Coworking group.
Bryce's site mentioned Jelly Groups and it was a
perfect fit
Jody posted the information to the Jelly Wiki
(jellycbus)
Sandy Blanquera set up the event on Tech Life
Meetups and we have 21 participants so far.

10. About, Cont.
First event has both unstructured work time and
2 presentations (iphone apps with Brian Lockrey
& starting a tech company with Ben Blanquera)
We hope to add additional Jelly opportunities at
the Dublin Entrepreneurial Center and other
locations.
The group is free to participate, just pay to park
& BYOBev and snacks
