A note on the Refresh Colombo. The community meets up on the last Thursday of each month at the Royal College skills centre at 5:30 in the evening. The entire operation is free and not for profit and speakers volunteer or are invited to give presentations on their knowledge areas. This is a fantastic opportunity for tech interested people to meet up and create more opportunities out of it. Programmers and designers can forge development relationships while business oriented people can find the skills needed to build up on possibly the next big thing in Sri Lanka. Individuals interested in finding the next big thing to invest in might also find what they are looking for here. The community is vibrant and is growing fast and it’s a good idea to come along and join without delay.
