They call it Silicon Beach here: http://siliconbeachaustralia.org/ http://siliconbeachaustralia.org/
There are Open Coffee events, Drinks every fridays, some events every now and then (not enough in my opinion)
Lots of world-class startups were born in Australia (Remember the milk and 99designs come to my mind), you might be the next one :)
Places to live: Coogee, Manly or Bondi! (beach lifestyle, 25 to 45 minutes from the center of Sydney)
If someone else from Sydney is on HN, please say hello :)
- Smerity 16y agoAnother notable startup coming from Sydney is Atlassian [1]. I live near the University of Sydney (currently an undergraduate student there) and they're quite a good force in the IT industry down here as the founders do a number of speaking gigs and also support NCSS [2] (an IT camp for high school students). The other groups to keep an eye on are programming groups (SyPy, FP-Syd and the Google events). I really should attend some of the Silicon Beach functions - I've yet to go but am really tempted =] [1] Atlassian - http://www.atlassian.com/ http://www.atlassian.com/ [2] NCSS - http://www.ncss.edu.au/ http://www.ncss.edu.au/
- aik 16y agoNice - my office is located in North Sydney, so I'm not too far away. I've visited Manly a few times - it's about a 30 min ferry ride away. Can't wait for the summer! Thanks for the link. The forum seems surprisingly active.
