New York? #1

Open ashfurrow opened 7 years ago

I think major cities might be out of context, the venue was isolated and the town very small. Basically we were the only ones in town and we enjoyed so much the event because we were also dining and doing stuff all together. I might be wrong, but NY seems very dispersive and stressful for a such kind of event. Definitely open to hear some other opinions! :)

Well, maybe @ashfurrow meant NY as in the state, and not NYC 😅

Now more seriously, if we'd like to keep that spirit we should maybe point that out in the README (via PR for discussion too maybe?).

Shame on me 👎 , yeah! You are definitely right!

Maybe Albany or Buffalo?

I was actually thinking NYC but hadn't considered the remote nature of the conference. NYC has very few conferences, so I thought having something like The Swift Alps, maybe only one day with some mentors/participants from around the city would be a cool way to serve the community here. Open to suggestions of course.

A single day might actually be interesting for a NYC audience. Good proposal!

The format reminds me a lot of the peer labs we hold every Saturday morning: http://artsy.github.io/blog/2015/08/10/peer-lab/
