HN Meetup, Bangalore

121 points by ad93611 14y ago

There seems to be enough interest[1] for a HN meetup similar to the one at Delhi. Let us meet at my place in Bangalore. Location: 522, 16th Cross, 2nd "A" Main, 6th Sector, HSR Layout Time: 4pm onwards, Day: Sunday - 21st April Please drop your confirmation in comments below. It will be good if people can bring some snacks and drinks to share as well. Please come even if you don't bring anything. :) My phone number in hex is 218EC1161, if you want to reach me.

You should post this on http://hackerstreet.in/ http://hackerstreet.in/ as well.

  This one is more like a personal forum where people (maybe) known or close to the owner of domain/forum rule(just my somewhat far fetched speculation). There are no set forum rules or guidelines and the one that they follow on "as it comes" are decided after seeing who the guy is in question. A newbie, a lurker or an established founder or so. So, my request is to keep it HN Meetup and not to make it HS Meetup or H(S+N) Meetup. Personal experience; so this jm2c of mine might be biased as well.

    > people (maybe) known or close to the owner of domain/forum rule Any examples of this behavior? Who is currently ruling HSI? I would be very interested in hearing more on this.

      As I said it was just my two cents and here http://hackerstreet.in/item?id=23904 http://hackerstreet.in/item?id=23904 is what I had seen there and was referring to. Though, I myself was not very active on HS and never visited after this. There was one more incident that I couldn't find in my browser history. It's not sth serious but I was very disturbed to see how one guy had raised a valid concern and almost everyone jumped on him with logic like "this is from a star personality", "it was not posted by someone from the company" and "one person didn't find it relevant, others did". The last one was very odd and even more add was the related founder's reaction. The guy (who had originally raised the question) had just mentioned and pointed out the similarity and the he(founder) was like http://hackerstreet.in/item?id=23917 http://hackerstreet.in/item?id=23917. And worst of all, people found it irrelevant when someone wanted to share a simple nice feedback(http://hackerstreet.in/item?id=23765 http://hackerstreet.in/item?id=23765); even forum owner(pd) frowned upon it(well, he was the firs one). And the entire community showed its double standard when it came to someone more successful, known on forum. Sadly the guy(who had first raised the concern) didn't post anything after that and neither the guy whose post was frowned upon. Maybe rightly so, because I guess it was just me and that guy who found it odd or maybe some more people. This doesn't happen on HN. Here are too far many people for one post's fate to be decided by a small circle. Here, if you deserve it, you get it! @prateekdayal: Please understand that I didn't mean any offence if you took any. I had the almost the same questions and if you check my ID there(same as HN) I hardly participated, I was just a lurker but still I found it odd and not well handled. Maybe HS needs to mature and more members with down-voting power needs to be there, which shall certainly take time. 'People known to forum owner' was a remark marked as a 'maybe' and that's what it was. Yes, it did sound like an allegation of some sort(apologies, if it did) but then again it was based upon the behaviour I observed. Thanks for coming here yourself and replying.

any agenda? what usually happens at such a meetup?
gshahlot 14y ago
This is great. Small suggestion: Moving it to a place outside the home/office zone might be good. Might I suggest a more open location, perhaps something on the lines of Barleyz or Arbor brewery?
- hzay 14y ago
  +1 for barleyz - great place for something like this!
- ashishb4u 14y ago
  I had the exact thoughts. Berleyz is walking distance from my place, so +1 to Berleyz.

People seem to prefer a more common location. Let us meet here at Barleyz instead, http://www.zomato.com/bangalore/barleyz-the-brew-house-koramangala/maps#tabtop http://www.zomato.com/bangalore/barleyz-the-brew-house-koram... I also created a facebook group for contacting people coming for this meetup. Please join the group, if you are coming. https://www.facebook.com/groups/482115068527962/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/482115068527962/ @grease, thanks for the pizza offer. maybe you could sponsor appetisers instead? :) I'm looking forward to this!

  Yep, starters on me. Or recruiterbox, to be more precise :) Look forward.

neilxdsouza 14y ago
This is off topic and about the 10000 startups (which is a NASSCOM project currently on HN). I would not have known about this if it was not posted here, and it is going to drop off the HN Frontpage as it has only 18 votes right now. Requesting anyone from India and interested in startups, to upvote that article to spread awareness (even if it means decreasing your chances of getting in a bit; 10000 startups is a lot and If I dont get in I probably am working on something stupid)
