Hi All, This discussion was prompted by Pascal Weinberger in an earlier thread. Having attended three great hackathons in the Bay Area, I know what can happen when chance meetings happen in the same room, and I'd like to organise some kind of physical get-together this side of the pond.
If you're based in Europe, please let us know where you are, where you'd be prepared to travel to, and if you'd like to help us plan and execute a meetup over here. So far, we have: Fergal Byrne in Dublin. Giuseppe Torre nearby in Limerick, Ireland. Richard Crowder in London. Pascal Weinberger in Frankfurt (am Main, I presume). Marek Otahal in Prague. Alexander Kettinen in Stockholm. Francisco Webber and cortical.io in Vienna. Things have really changed in the last few years, so my suggestion is to have as our ambition something like the virtual Java User Group [1], which combines physical meetups where possible and lots of live online webinars and hangouts. I've contacted the founder and will see how far I can get on this track. Please pipe in with your info and suggestions.
