Thanks so much to everyone who came out on Tuesday night. I'm excited to
keep some momentum going in this group.
I had an idea while I was sitting there watching the talks. I've been
wanting to get off of meetup.com for a long time. Let's just say, I'm not a
fan.
I'd like to move the things meetup provides elsewhere, and I think that
means building something. The basic things that meetup provides are a user
directory + signup and some kind of events calendar. All discussion should
happen on this group, so I don't really think that's needed in a
replacement.
So, this idea I had was that we could build it together. Perhaps there are
a few among you who would be happy to contribute a few hours to making this
happen.
It also occurred to me that this might work well with the idea of a talk
around how a simple app is constructed. It could be built with Require and
Backbone, or whatever, and then we could use it as the example for a talk.
I was imaging building the backend in Rails, 'cause... that's how I roll
these days.
Let me know if you're interested in participating.
Thanks,
Reed
