Hello,

I am interested in starting a Kansas City JAM.  Have been to couple of local events recently (both internal and external to my company), the amount of people that showed up to Jenkins talks makes me believe there is a lot of interest in Jenkins here at Kansas City. 

From my basic search I don't see a JAM in here at KC. Please let me know how we can work together to get an official JAM set up for this area. 

Kansas City straddles the Missouri and Kansas states border. 

Thanks..!

Hello Alyssa, Max,

Cerner (I work for this company) is ready to sponsor venue and food for the very first event, and there are couple speakers that I know those can share knowledge about their Jenkins experience from Cerner.

But since this our very first event in Kansas City I am wondering if someone from the Jenkins team can join us to shred light and set some direction for the future.

Or if you have any other speaker suggestions from the local community that would be awesome too. Thoughts?

Please let me know. Thank you. 

Regards, 
Naresh Rayapati

hi Naresh,

Apologies for the delayed response. We're gearing up for DevOps World | Jenkins World San Francisco and Nice so we're slow to respond. I am not aware of a Jenkins contributor in Kansas. Would you be open to having a virtual attendance instead? What is your eta for the meetup? I would have to find someone who would be available on the date and time of your meetup.

Hi Alyssa, 

It is okay, see I am late too, sorry about that, was away for some time and busy with other things later. 

We haven't planned anything exact date yet, but thinking of some time in November - December time frame (probably first week of December), by then we would be very happy refreshing our Jenkins World presentations :).

Sure, it would great even if it is virtual presentation. Please let us know. 

Thank you. 

Regards
Naresh Rayapati.

It would be nice if we can have some update at least 2 months ahead of the actual date so that we will have enough time to announce the meetup and let venue/food sponsor have some time to prepare logistics.

If you don't have enough time now, lets have any update in November and plan the meetup for January, as a new year event. Thoughts? 

Regards
Naresh Rayapati

Hi Alyssa/Max,

I am back, still up for organizing few talks this year in KC. As requested before looking someone to help us kick off the initial session.

The response was huge, when I have conducted a Jenkins Pipelines workshop in Oct 2018 at a local conference (DevOpsDays KC 2018). https://www.devopsdays.org/events/2018-kansas-city/program/naresh-rayapati/

Thank you.
Naresh Rayapati.

Hi Naresh,

Happy New Year! Congrats on your workshop. 
Can you let me know when you're planning your meetup? I was going through the email thread, are you still open to having a virtual speaker?

Thnx,
alyssa

Very happy new year! Thank you.:) 

We are planning to make it either last week of March or in the first week of April, but no hard date that i'd confidently give you currently, which we can change according to the speaker availability. 

Virtual session would work as well. Thank you. 

Regards 
Naresh Rayapati.

Hi Naresh,

apologies for the delayed response. Do you have a date for your meetup yet or eta? If you don't have a date yet, Skylar can check with one of our speakers for their availability in March (end of March) or April.

@Skylar VanAlstine - could you pls check w/ either one of the James, Viktor or Nicolas to see if one of them can do a virtual session at this meet up? Also pls make Naresh co-organizer for this meetup.

Thnx
alyssa

Hi Naresh, 
You have been made to Co-organizer of this event and I have reached out to my colleagues about doing a virtual session at your meetup.  
Did you have a date in mind?
Thanks!

Thank you Skylar. 

We don't have exact date yet, we would like to adjust it based on the virtual speaker availability, and we wanted it to be like a month and half in advance. If we are looking for someone now, lets target the availability for end of next month like April last week or May first week. 

And we wanted it to be KC time between 6.00 PM to 8.00 PM, it will be 4 to 6 PM of CA time. Thanks again. 

Regards, 
Naresh Rayapati.

Hi Alyssa / Skylar, 

If you couldn't find a one, it is okay. It is been almost an year(9+ months) I am trying to follow up on this, don't want to spend further time on this, probably we will follow up with other speakers here. 

Thank you for your help.
