I am interested in organizing some meetups for D programmers
in the nearby area. The first of these will be very informal
and involve a social meeting at a cafe or bar to chat and
gauge any interest in future events and in what direction
people think these should head. I was thinking of arranging
this for mid January next year but am very flexible on the
dates.
Sounds great, wanted to initiate that myself for quite a while,
but lacked the time to do so.
Lot of people use http://www.meetup.com/, maybe that would get
us some more visitors.
We thought of at first targeting more towards the existing
community. Then see how it goes and if there is momentum and
interest in doing a more open event, hosting a few talks, some of
them targeted as non-D users. I think that kind of event might be
more suitable to announce in http://www.meetup.com/. But we are
open to other ideas too I think (I don't want to talk in Ben's
behalf ;-).
