I've added some Geo information to the Beam GA report[1]. In my opinion, it makes sense to target cities with the largest existing Beam presence (along with, perhaps, places where people can travel easily).
- London and Paris are the top cities in Europe for visits to the Beam site, so I feel that Paris could be a good location. - In the US, NY is the largest single city, but if we count all of the Silicon Valley locations near the top, then both NYC and Bay Area are very large (Bay Area comes out on top). - For Asia, I guess it's a little tricky. Are community members aware of meetups that have been organized in Asia? We could try to work backwards from that evidence of 'community engagement', and see if there are some outstanding locations. In the GA report, Japan, China, India are all very large - Bangalore is the second largest city globally for visits to the Beam site. +Reza Rokni <r...@google.com> thoughts?
