NodeBots SF 2015 planning #23

Closed nebrius closed 9 years ago

nebrius commented 9 years ago

Let's do another planning meeting to get the next few months of meetups figured out. I suggest we do one in early January, perhaps January 8th? That is one week before the January NodeBots SF meetup on soldering.

We can host it at Rdio or Famo.us, but we could also chat over dinner somewhere and keep it casual (HT to @TheAlphaNerd for this idea).

MylesBorins commented 9 years ago

I am putting forward the idea of going to Smugglers Cove for this meeting. Rum rum rum rum rum.

MylesBorins commented 9 years ago

also

/cc @dshaw @nexxy

KarbonDallas commented 9 years ago

well then, you have my interest. I believe I'm free on the evening of the 8th.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

Also /cc @Frijol @SaraJo

nebrius commented 9 years ago

So I've been thinking, part of me wants to put this up on meetup too to try and get more people involved. What does everyone else think?

MylesBorins commented 9 years ago

Hmmmm… nodebots planning meeting drink up?

We can also do it at a restaurant or something to make it more inclusive to our under 21 hackers=

nebrius commented 9 years ago

I like the idea of a restaurant too, for the reasons you mentioned. We can always transition to Smugglers Cove afterwards.

Frijol commented 9 years ago

Yes! & agreed re let's do dinner (at least first). I'm out of town on the 8th, though– a later day would be better if possible

dshaw commented 9 years ago

I'm down too, but not 1/8. SFNode's that night. http://www.meetup.com/sfnode/events/216733022/

nebrius commented 9 years ago

How about the following Monday or Tuesday, the 12th or 13th?

Frijol commented 9 years ago

The 13th sounds good to me!

voodootikigod commented 9 years ago

I am most likely going to be in town for the Reactjs Conf end of NaN (whoops Jan). If there is any chance of dovetail than woot!

dshaw commented 9 years ago

+1 for Tuesday 1/13

dshaw commented 9 years ago

@bryan-m-hughes How pinned down is the soldering intro on 1/15. I'd be open to shifting January to the end of the month to allow us to host @voodootikigod. http://conf.reactjs.com/ 1/29 would line up.

dshaw commented 9 years ago

@Frijol is there a good soldering friendly space in the city that you could recommend?

nebrius commented 9 years ago

@voodootikigod \o/ sounds awesome! (I tried to get tickets to reactjs conf, but failed)

@dshaw, I was thinking the same thing. Bump soldering to February, if not later, shift January's meeting to the end of the month. @voodootikigod is there a specific day that would work best for you?

KarbonDallas commented 9 years ago

I have a space potentially lined up for us, depending on what date we arrive at.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

@nexxy thanks for checking the space out. The next NodeBots event would be February 19th, can you check if the space is available then?

Frijol commented 9 years ago

@dshaw Matt from SupplyFrame/Hackaday would probably be happy to host– I can ask if you want. It's good for ~20 people soldering

Y'all are always welcome out here in Berkeley, too, for a larger workspace

KarbonDallas commented 9 years ago

@bryan-m-hughes to be clear, is the event in February the one on Soldering? or a different focus?

dshaw commented 9 years ago

@Frijol Thank you for the offer. Berkley's probably a bit of a stretch for regular sessions. We're always happy to help cross promote if you're running anything there though.

It would be great to connect with Matt at SupplyFrame/Hackaday for future events even if we are sorted for February.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

@nexxy sorry, yes the one in February is the one on soldering.

@Frijol @dshaw maybe we could do a joint event in Berkely (or Oakland, get some of the Node.js folks over there to stop by) later this year. We can talk more at the planning event.

KarbonDallas commented 9 years ago

Confirmed for February 19:

Heavybit Clubhouse — http://www.heavybit.com/clubhouse

address: 325 Ninth Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

nebrius commented 9 years ago

\o/ that space looks wonderful!

nebrius commented 9 years ago

@Frijol, Perhaps we could host January with @voodootikigod there, what do you think? Will the space work well for a more lecture style meetup?

Frijol commented 9 years ago

Which, Technical Machine or Supplyframe offices? Both can accommodate lecture style, but Supplyframe is probably more comfortable. We have a giant projector wall, picnic tables, and a couch, but not a lot of actual chairs.

For reference, our space: https://foursquare.com/v/technical-machine/535ea931498edf967bcb436c/photos (not shown: projector wall)

Supplyframe/Hackaday: http://instagram.com/p/sL2VBcJmQp/?modal=true (not shown: beanbag chairs)

Frijol commented 9 years ago

also: @nexxy Heavybit looks amaazing.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

@Frijol I think SupplyFrame will work better this time since it's in San Francisco. One of these days I want to make it out to Berkley to see your space though :)

morganrallen commented 9 years ago

@frijol I've actually mention this group to Alek before and I believe they'd (supplyframe) be happy to host. Also, there was a large stack of chair last time I attended.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

@nexxy, does the 13th work for you too for the planning meeting?

As for a restaurant, how does La Trappe (http://latrappecafe.com/) sound? @TheAlphaNerd and I went there with a group for my birthday a few months ago, and they have really delicious food and can seat a large group.

MylesBorins commented 9 years ago

Can we just eat at La Trappe??? I’ve been craving it!

KarbonDallas commented 9 years ago

The 13th should be just fine! I will put it on my calendar.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

57402711

nebrius commented 9 years ago

But in all seriousness, with the subtlest of arm twisting, I could be convinced to eat there again ;-)

MylesBorins commented 9 years ago

OH MY GLOB

just blew my mind

mind blown

voodootikigod commented 9 years ago

Hey just a heads up I am definitely going to be there for reactjsconf would love to do at the very least a beer/food with the NodeBots SF crew. Let me know what works!! Cheers

@voodootikigod Will you be able to put together a talk for 1/29(ish)? Speakers choice on topics :) I think we would all prefer to make this the January meetup.

@Frijol (or @morganrallen) have you had a chance to get in touch with your contacts at Supply Frame about hosting yet?

morganrallen commented 9 years ago

I'll shoot Alek and Matt a message.

So it's all good for that date (29 Thur), also Supply Frame is happy to provide food and drink for the night.

@morganrallen fantastisch! Yes, lets have them supply food and drink.

I'll try and get the meetup event up tomorrow-ish.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

The meetup page is up, although I haven't announced it yet (i.e. no one has been emailed). http://www.meetup.com/nodebotssf/events/219631092/

Let me know what you think! If everything looks good, I'll go ahead and announce the meetup.

voodootikigod commented 9 years ago

quite a testament to live up to! hope to not let anyone down (and if I do, there is the bar afterwards right?)

Looks great.

nebrius commented 9 years ago

San Francisco is the land of bars. I'm sure we can find something ;-)

If there are no further comments, I'll announce the meetup tomorrow morning (kinda late in the day right now IMO).

MylesBorins commented 9 years ago

:+1:

nebrius commented 9 years ago

So, the planning meeting is next week, what time would we like to meet? 6? 6:30?

Also, can you let me know if you plan to attend so I can get a head count?

KarbonDallas commented 9 years ago

6:30 sounds fabulous. I will be there! :smile_cat:

(La Trappe, right?)

dshaw commented 9 years ago
