- andreyf 18y agoWorse than dupe: dead org. Zed hasn't posted to the mailing list since 11/26 last year, meetups kind of fell through.
- apgwoz 18y agoMaybe it'll startup again with new found interest. I'm moving to NYC and would love to start going to some of these meetupy type events.
- andreyf 18y agoThere was a news.yc NYC meetup, which I couldn't make it to, but I imagine was neat :) If you want it to be serious, I think the trick is to get people to sign up to show cool stuff ahead of time, and advertise what people will be presenting. If you'd like, I can help you organize (not that I have experience with that kind of things). I'd imagine we can find a place, issue a call for presentations, see how many responses there are, then make a site with the list of speakers.
- apgwoz 18y agoI'm not sure when exactly I'll be moving [hoping for April 1st, but I might be commuting from Philly for a little bit since our apartment isn't getting rented...] When I do actually move, I'll let you know. I'd love to see what we can come up with.
- omouse 18y agoThere were a few meetups last time I checked and a few people did present some software/ideas/whatever. Unfortunately, not everyone likes to lead or to actually, you know, do things.
