Yesterday we had the first User Group Meeting in Trondheim, thanks for everyone who participated – it was great!

We discussed two points for next – and hopefully regular meetings

1. To find a room at NTNU, so it is easily possible also for externals to join.  
I looked for rooms relatively easy to find and accessible with hopefully just one door to open to get there. My proposal is [H2](https://link.mazemap.com/Y4e5x8QW), ground floor, we can see people outside (and can be seen); and I can reserve it. After 18.00 it is always available so we could meet a weekday 18.00

2. When. I was thinking of every 3rd week (like this week), so the next would be Oct 15-19. Which week day do you prefer? My preference would be Tuesday, but here is a poll

_Poll ([view on site](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-user-group-trondheim-monthly-meeting/119674/1))_

I will decide for a day based on this poll next week Friday (27/09) and book the room.

For our second meeting in October, we still have a the first meeting in October, we can collect topics [here](https://md.chaotikum.org/uRl4Oov0RnSrPdbaqfuohw?both), but I would propose a lightning talk session, who ever wants to join with an own 10 minutes talk.

Interims result: On the two leading ones, We only can have the H2 on Wednesday (but I booked that for now), on Tuesday we would have to check for that not time for a different room then, because then it is already booked for the evening. I can check on Friday for alternatives if Tuesday stays the preferred day. To be precise, the room is never available Tuesday evenings.

Two days left to vote!  
If we stick to Tuesday, I checked quite a few rooms, that can be maybe seen from outside to notify someone to get in, maybe [G1](https://link.mazemap.com/J2BtQhh2) works well – though not that “far upfront” as H2, still easy to reach for example from the bus station right to the side of the Geo-building. Will check that room tomorrow in person.

Tuesday it is! Since as I noted H2 is taken, we have to use G1 then. So

**The 2nd Julia User Group Trondheim** meeting is

**Tuesday, 15.10.2024, 18.00, in [G1](https://link.mazemap.com/J2BtQhh2).**

Since this is the first meeting with talks, the topic is  
“Lightning Talks – What are you (currently) doing in Julia?”  
Feel free to already sent me the slides upfront.

How do we get more people to see this post so that more people will show up?

The first good thing is the reminder now this week, that this pops up here again – thanks for that!

I also posted this (both the thread here and the page) to both LinkedIn and BlueSky – feel free to do these as well!  
Then the next is, to get a consistency working, so to fix a meeting every month – and think about further areas where to post this.  
Also a fancy Logo would be cool for visibility; I had neither a good idea until now nor am I a designer.

Remember, the meeting is tomorrow!  
If you want to give a lightning talk (5-10 minutes) about what you do with Julia, it would be nice if you could send me the slides tomorrow during the day, cf. [Ronny Bergmann - NTNU](https://www.ntnu.edu/employees/ronny.bergmann) for my email address.

Hope to see many of you tomorrow!

We have not yet made it to a regular monthly meeting, but we are organising an “Introduction to Julia” workshop:

**March 20, 2025, 16.00 in S5, SBII on Gløshaugen Campus, Trondheim.**

 ![digital poster](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/5/6/560087b64bed679955c42712889dea626b560fc3.jpeg)

And maybe we find a few more than the current 2 permanent members to get a monthly meeting started 🙂

So great to see a Norwegian group. Anyone over here on the east (Oslo) side? 🙂 Let me know if there is any tele-presence.

That workshop is not planned digitally – I did hybrid talks and workshops during this one pandemic and felt that was super-exhausting, not only having two audiences but usually also a chat in mind while talking.

For the Oslo area, I am not so sure I have seen much activity yet, but since Oslo is larger, it might be more likely there are some people around?
