Sacha Greif and the dotConferences guys (Sylvain Zimmer and Ferdinand Boas) used to run them. Maybe get in touch with them and see if they can help you get started. Also, feel free to give me a shout if you want any input / suggestions
- sylvinus 10y agoHey! We did start it a long time ago, but then someone aggressively took over the meetup page, so we're not in control anymore: http://www.meetup.com/parishackers/ http://www.meetup.com/parishackers/ We've since started "Paris Tech Talks" in the same spirit, which is now the largest generalist tech meetup in Paris: https://www.meetup.com/Paris-Tech-Talks/ https://www.meetup.com/Paris-Tech-Talks/ What we've seen over time though is that the Paris tech scene already has a enormous number of high quality meetups, and people are increasingly tired of them. We are seeing the same general decline in interest that happened with hackathons a couple years ago. I'd say that "Hacker News" is not really a strong enough unique proposition to build a new meetup on. Meetups linked to specific languages or technologies tend to do much better over time. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss more!
