I'll be organizing a workshop at The Speakeasy in Indianapolis

The Speak Easy 5255 North Winthrop Avenue Indianapolis, IN 46220

[x] A co-organizer. If you've loved attending a workshop, jump into organizing! You don't have to be a Rails developer to organize, and you don't need organizing experience, either. Checkout the workshop cookbook if it's new to you.
[x] Add Indiana Chapter on Bridge Troll
[x] Post the workshop to Bridge Troll
[x] Post the workshop to Meetup
[x] update http://www.railsbridgeindy.org/
[x] Find Sponsors
[x] Recruit Volunteers
[x] Publicize event/Railsbridge
[x] Decide what food to order (need to figure out what good gluten free/paleo takeout is)
[x] Look into options for providing childcare

One to two weeks out, we'll

[x] Plan a teacher training
[x] Order breakfast
[x] Order lunch (Whole foods worked well last time)
[x] Find a good place for the after party

@annaswims, This is super exciting! I added the Indiana Chapter to BridgeTroll!

rachelmyers commented 10 years ago

Would it be helpful to get RailsBridge to tweet that we need another co-organizer in Indianapolis?

annaswims commented 10 years ago

@rachelmyers I think I'll be able to find someone. Indianapolis is small enough that I know most ruby developers in the area. A quick email prior to posting the event got 5 volunteers already and I'm thrilled about that.

rachelmyers commented 10 years ago

That's awesome! Let me know if I can help with anything! I'll just be here cheering you guys on! :smile_cat: :tada:
