London Hacker News meetup: Thursday, 18 Oct
- jgrahamc 14y agoI probably should go to one of these one day.
- dmitri1981 14y agoBetter still, come do a talk! I am sure you have tons of great stories to share.
- jgrahamc 14y agoOK. What would you like me to talk about? Could perhaps talk about what it's like to write a book for O'Reilly based on my experience of writing The Geek Atlas. Or talk about the Analytical Engine project. Or how everyone in London should be using CloudFlare. Or bit banging on micro controllers. Or what I like about Go. Or being a programmer over 40 :-) Or..?
- buro9 14y agoI'd definitely come to hear about the analytical engine project.
- dmitri1981 14y agoAnalytical Engine sounds brilliant. Could you drop me an email on d.grabov@gmail.com and we'll arrange it all.
- jgrahamc 14y agoDropped you a line. I'll come and do a talk entitled: "That'll never work!" about some crazy ideas that I've had in the past (The Geek Atlas, the Alan Turing Apology and the Analytical Engine project) and lessons from having crazy ideas.
- NickPollard 14y agoI've enjoyed most of your writing, so I'm sure anything that you chose to talk about would go down well. Particularly the book writing or Analytical Engine bits would interest me.
- shanelja 14y agoAhhh, I really wish I could afford to go down there, I just moved in to a new flat and can't afford the transport. If anyone from the north west is planning on driving, let me know and I will happily chip in for petrol (and I'll throw in 10 hours of free PHP work on a project of your choosing!) It's a shame this isn't after the 24th when I get paid. I hope all of the attendees enjoy themselves.
- NickPollard 14y agoThere's normally one every month or so (it depends a bit on when Dmitri and the other organisers have enough of their time they generously donate), so if you can't make this one you can just look forward to another in the future.
- shanelja 14y agoOh, fabulous! That's great news, thanks a lot.
- andyjenn 14y agoI'm flying to SF the next day for Startup School.. could be all HN'd out by the end of the weekend..anyone else going?
- grabeh 14y agoLooking forward to attending very much!
- tav 14y agoThere is also Flagon's Den this evening if anyone else fancies going: http://london.flagonsden.com/ http://london.flagonsden.com/
- atlbeer 14y agoRSVP's are currently closed? Is it still ok to just show up?
- dmitri1981 14y agoCan you please signup for the waiting list? We will have a few people dropping out and you'll be able on the guest list in no time.
- TomAnthony 14y agoThanks for this! I can't make tonight, but definitely want to come to things like this and didn't know this one. :)
- sabret00the 14y agoI really need to start being more sociable inside tech circles like this.
- sgdesign 14y agoUpvoting this just so more people have a chance to see it. Although judging from when I was there, I'm not sure if you guys really need even more members!
- mlgallen 14y agoExcited to be attending for the first time - I'm on @shhmooze - download the app and say hi!
- victorantos 14y agoI am on WP7... "Right now, Shhmooze is only available for iPhone. We're working to get Shhmooze on as many platforms as possible. In the meantime, get onto hello@shhmooze.com and tell us what you use."
- binarymax 14y agoWon't be able to make this, but thanks for announcing angel hack - just bought my tickets!
- josscrowcroft 14y agoIs it necessary to register or could I just show up? Not sure if I'll still be in London is all!
- VBprogrammer 14y agoJust show up, they certainly don't check that you have registered.
- duiker101 14y agoWhy on Thursday? I know a lot of you guys are working on your own things or freelance but a lot of people have office hours and might need some time to move :(
- Peroni 14y agoIt's almost always on a Thursday. We've tried alternative days in the past and Thursday meet-ups tend to be the most accessible.
- dmitri1981 14y agoIt's close enough to the weekend so you don't have to worry too much about a cheeky extra beer and at the same time it's fairly convenient for most people to swing by after work.
- anovikov 14y agoHaving organized several parties involving mostly programmers before, i can say that yes, doing it on weekday makes event way more fun, because it puts a strong positive filter on those attending.
- brackin 14y agoHacker News is a great meetup and the original London tech meetup for real hackers and startup folks. Highly recommended for newcomers. Other good meetups to checkout are Silicon Drinkabout and Digital Sizzle.

- anupj 14y agoI have registered, but not sure what the agenda is.
- dmitri1981 14y agoI just got it sorted today and will prob announce on Monday. It will be good, promise.
- anupj 14y agoNo worries! :) Looking fwd to the meetup.
- tehwalrus 14y agoI didn't know this existed. excellent!
- zwtaoo 14y agoCould anybody tell me, is it OK if I just come and listen as a novice?
- duiker101 14y agoI really do not see why it wouldn't be OK. You can go and meet people. It's not that you are forced to do anything :)
- victorantos 14y agonever been to this meetup, but I am going to google's campuslondon on 16th, how many people come at your meetup?
- Peroni 14y agoWe average about 400 people per event.
- seiji 14y agoDrat, I leave on the 18th. If anybody wants to meet before then or organize a mini-soiree, drop me a line. I promise to be mildly, and only mildly, entertaining. Alternately, you can try to stalk me at the regent street apple store. I'll be the American sitting in the theater not paying attention to the presenter.
- helen842000 14y agoAww it says it's full. Maybe nest time!
- simonrbone 14y agoDon't forget London Open Coffee - http://www.meetup.com/londonocc/ http://www.meetup.com/londonocc/ if only for the mailing list :-)
