Developer Events in the Northeast – Early Summer, 2011

Welcome to summer!  Though beaches, ice cream trucks, and vacations await, the developer community marches on, so here’s a look at events in the northeastern U.S. for the first part of the season. 

As always, if you know of other (free or nearly free) developer-focused events, please let me know.
