Does anyone know of any good hacker meetups or Incubator offices in the San Diego Area. I would like to volunteer some of my time working on small projects in the san diego area

View on HN

For an Incubator, there's Founder Institute (http://www.founderinstitute.com) chapter, UCSD business school has a program, Qualcomm has some kind of program, there is a TechCoast Angels chapter, BootStrapper's Breakfast chapter and a whole host of other programs that I've forgotten or don't know about.

For hacker meetups there are San Diego Super Happy Dev House (http://groups.google.com/group/sd-shdh) and San Diego HN chapter (http://groups.google.com/group/sd-hackernews). There are also all kinds of groups for various topics such as Ruby, Python and LUG that you can find on Google Groups and MeetUp. Quite a few of them meet at UCSD by the way.

You can also take a look at Brant Cooper's site for more info: http://market-by-numbers.com. He also puts out a weekly news letter through Startup Digest: http://startupdigest.com/ and has a meeting every Wednesday in the morning at Del Mar location of Pannikin (http://pannikincoffeeandtea.com/).

This is just stuff I'm aware of but should give you some place to start looking, I hope.

How would you like to volunteer your time, specifically?

Just by doing some coding. I have experience developing ruby on rails and iPhone applications. I was just looking for a way to get involved in the startup scene in SD
