What is FRED?

	<p><strong>FRED</strong> stands for <strong>FR</strong>ont <strong>E</strong>nd <strong>D</strong>evelopers, and is (as far as we can tell) the first multi-city meetup for front-end devs.</p>

	<p>FRED provides an outlet for front-end developers to talk and share about this exciting and crucial new craft.</p>

Can I get involved in FRED?

	<p>Yes! Whether it's starting your own FRED, speaking at a FRED event, or just joining in the discussion online, we'd love to have your voice contribute to FRED.</p>

	<p>FRED is not a bureacracy, and you don't need anyone's permission. Just start something and keep us updated. We'll help however we can. As a reminder we do not endorse recruiters and solicitors at any FRED event. At its core FRED is a learning platform to connect with the community about Front-end Web Development.</p>

Who is FRED?

	<p>FRED is you, me, and other <strong>FR</strong>ont <strong>E</strong>nd <strong>D</strong>evelopers around the web. To become a FRED, you just have to attend a meet up or join in on the discussion online. It's that easy!</p>

	<p>The FRED organization itself was originally started by <a href="http://twitter.com/ChrisVanPatten">Chris Van Patten</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/gryghostvisuals">Dennis Gaebel</a> in <a href="/buffalo/">Buffalo, <abbr title="New York">N.Y.</abbr></a>. After a successful couple of months, they decided FRED was ready to see the world, and with the help of <a href="http://twitter.com/simonowendesign">Simon Owen</a> from <a href="/manchester/">Manchester, <abbr title="United Kingdom">U.K.</abbr></a>, began building the FRED movement.</p>
