January Scala Meetup

[Ben Metz]

Zach and co.

Any chance on an end of month January Scala Meetup in Des Moines?

[Tony Bibbs]

I'd be interested but it'd have to be the very last week in Jan :-/

As for the February URL shorterner thingy...2/26 gauntlet has been laid.  Waiting to hear from Zach if that works so that we can use the BitMethod or Pongr office.  While I wait on that if we have other venues with considering let me know.  Also, if it's OK I'm going to send out an invite to the CIJUG.  Actually, I'm not on that list but will have a buddy who is forward on the invite...again, pending confirmation 2/26 works.

Are we thinking weekday, weeknight, or weekend for a Jan Scala meetup?

I'm still working on 26 Feb, will know today.

[Ben Metz]

I'm in for a weekday.  

[Zach Cox]

I could do a weekday last week Jan. Weekends are all booked though.

Are you thinking like half or full-day unconference?

Tues 25 Jan is http://dsmstartupdrinks.com if that makes any difference.

[Ben Metz]

Maybe half-day w/ lightning talks?  Would let us northern folks get something done in the morning and head down maybe?  Tuesday sounds good, we could head to dsmstartupdrinks afterward...

[Zach Cox]

Half-day should be enough, dsmstartupdrinks should be good too. Shall
we register iascala.org, create a Meetup and charge $50? :)

I'd love to see some Akka stuff from you T8 guys.

[Ben Metz]

Will definitely be prepared w/ Akka stuff :)

[Zach Cox]

For fun, I created http://www.meetup.com/ia-scala

Are we settling on Tues 25 Jan? Any thoughts on a starting time?

[Wade Arnold]

I will be in Atlanta on that Tuesday but look forward to the February
meeting.

Wade

[Zach Cox]

That's too bad Wade, would be great to have you.

Anyone else want to attend, but can't do Tues 25 Jan?

[Ben Metz]

I can do most any day that week.  Would be good to pick an optimal day, for max attend. 

[Zach Cox]

How about this: if you're interested in this meetup, reply back with
days that work for you.

Pongr can do:
Mon 24 Jan
Tues 25 Jan
Thur 27 Jan
Fri 28 Jan

End of day today or tomorrow we'll schedule this thing at
http://meetup.com/ia-scala.

Thanks,
Zach

Tues  25 Jan

Myself and 2-4 of the other guys (working in scala here @T8) will be attending.  

[Tony Bibbs]

That Friday works best for me.  Not sure I can pull an all dayer, though.

[Zach Cox]

I created a Meetup for this: http://www.meetup.com/ia-scala/calendar/15995876/

I just put 25 Jan 2p down to create the meetup, we can definitely adjust.

Now everybody go RSVP!
