What do YOU think the top local tech news stories were in 2015? I hope you'll weigh in. Please drop me a note. Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin, founders of lynda.com, were at the Colligan Theater in Santa Cruz last week to share their startup story as part of CSUMB's President's Speaker Series. Find out what they did -- wrong and right -- to ultimately end up being acquired by LinkedIn earlier this year in a $1.5B deal. Today is the day that Santa Cruz City Council will vote on whether to proceed with a city-wide fiber-to-the-premise network in partnership with Cruzio. This topic is #22 on the meeting agenda. Watch on CTV's video feed or head on down to council chambers to see it live. It's hackathon season. CSUMB recently hosted theirs and UCSC's is coming up in January. This week, learn about Snapi and PredPol. And, now that data collection is ubiquitous, what's the local connection between data collection and garbage collection? All this, and more news that you need to know! Start reading! Sara Isenberg
