Potential US West Coast Meetups (Portland, Bay Area, San Diego)

I am doing a bit of a last-minute west coast tour with stops in Portland, SF Bay Area and San Diego. I’d like to gauge interest in organizing some informal meetups while I’m there. I don’t have much bandwidth to organize, so I’m not planning anything big, but I figured might as well take advantage while I’m there. Please indicate any interest in such a meetup in the poll below. Also if anyone wants to volunteer to organize a venue, that’d be most welcome. I’ll leave the poll open for about two days and then make a call and post details here.

  • Portland - March 10
  • Bay Area - March 12
  • San Diego - March 18

Julia enthusiasts: If you are in San Diego or vicinity, let me know. I could organize a room and some refreshments.

I might be able to organize a venue in Portland, and would be thrilled to meet other local Julia enthusiasts! What are your thoughts on linking to this thread on Slack # community and #portland-local (and potentially channels for San Diego and the Bay Area)?

Go for it! In fact, I’m very happy for local folks to take over organizing - I just wanted to get the ball rolling.

Awesome, my initial thought is to start in mid-afternoon. I’ll keep you updated as I look into it. For other locals interested in joining, my schedule is flexible so please speak up

I am in San Diego (at UCSD) and would love to join if you can organize a get-together.

Alright, looks like San Diego is definitely on. For the Bay Area, I’m thinking of moving my schedule around and doing it a week later to coincidence with GTC and maybe get some out of town folks as well. For Portland, my current plan is to stick around this upcoming week as well, so let’s coordinate on Monday to see if it makes sense. Thanks all.

OK, looks like Keno will be in a meeting at the Exhange @ Nuevo East, room X-204 or X-208 till 4pm. I do not know at this point if we will need a different room. So let’s just meet there at 4pm on March 18.
