Regular Meetup

[Wraithan x]

Howdy folks,

I'm recently getting into rust and its been great fun. I've talked to Tom Lee about the group a bit and he said that it only gets put together when he can find a speaker.

I'm proposing a slightly different setup. I think it will continue to be hard to find speakers, considering other groups I help organize have trouble with this in well established languages/communities. What we can do while the community builds up is have regular hack nights. If we have a presenter then we can start with that of course.

This gives us the ability to build a community around rust in Portland. I'm happy to volunteer to help organize those sorts of events. In the PDXNode community we call them Code & Learn to encourage beginners to come as well. I'm relatively certain Tom and I can get New Relic to sponsor space, we'd just have to come up with a regular night to do it. I propose second thursday each month.

TL;DR: Lets have a hack night with optional presenter each month on second thursday at New Relic.

Howdy,

Thanks for pushing this forward, Wraithan.

I might not be able to make Nov 13th (if that is going to happen) but
I will be there on December 11th!

This sounds cool. I'd come, I'm that experienced in Rust but I'd love to do hack nights.

Great initiative, Wraithan! I'll be there.

Hey folks!

So it looks like between weather looking awful this week and the New Relic space not working out for tomorrow. We'll call it this month and just count on second Thursdays starting in December.

Have a great one!

Wraithan and others,

What's the status of the December meetup? I'd love for there to be a regular get-together of some sort or other and am happy to help with organization.
