It would be cool if we had a map of local businesses. We could even highlight TechFrederick member businesses.

I did build something a while ago (which dropped in priority a good bit after I moved). It's old and has unfinished parts but maybe could provide some ideas. If I get some time I can get the code shared and add some basic documentation. Link here.

Looking at open / foss-y tools, rather than google maps,
