I think we have a different view on what this could look like.
Once every second month or so I far too long between events to create an
active community; my intention is to create something that is frequent
enough that a dedicated community forms around it.
Topics to talk about can always be found, that's not a problem
considering the amount of material out there for both beginners,
intermediate and expert haskellers.
My idea was to model this meetup on what me and the other organizers of
Stockholm Ruby are doing:
Many events of varying kinds for all levels of programmers. We try to
have _at_least_ one event per month happen, and most often it's two to
three events. Content is not a problem if we could find a core group of
passionate leaders for the group.
For the first event I intended to start off with with a string of talks.
I'd probably start by introducing the language to people not familiar
with it (showing people why it's really cool), a friend of mine would
have a talk about a practical project he made in haskell (github
integration) and we'd probably want to finish with one last talk on some
other topic (haven't yet found a third person).
If we get a few of them, we could also do lightning talks between.
That'd be the first time. I've got some ideas for future events too, but
we'd have to start somewhere.
