Upgrade nodeschool/havana to become nodeschool/cuba #410

Open olemis opened 7 years ago

olemis commented 7 years ago

Hello !

We @CubanTech started to coordinate the organization of all the @nodeschool events in Cuba , not just Havana . We offered Nodebots in Holguín on December 24th and are moving to Santa Clara, Cuba on January . We plan to cover all major cities across the country by the end of 2017 to grow the community and actually organize the meetups on a regular basis .

Therefore it'd be much simpler for us to rename our current nodeschool/havana instance to become nodeschool/cuba , in a similar way as @nodeschool/italy did. Is this possible ?

Hey @olemis, I am kind of on the fence with your request: chapter organization was meant to focus on cities. @mcollina how does it work out, having one chapter for Italy?

Understood . Just for the record :

Cuba is considerably smaller than Italy
It is extremely difficult to have local organizers for events (that's why we assumed the responsibility ;)
It's a bit difficult for a single organization to maintain , say , 8 to 10 open chapters for each city .
We are starting to do the same with Docker Cuba meetups.

I hope this can be resolved in favor of creating single chapter .

I understand, as far as I'm concerned it shouldn't be an issue, but once chapter start becoming independant I think you should create separate chapters.
