London meetup

28 points by prole

Hi everyone,

I recently saw a post about an NYC lobsters meetup, and am wondering how many people here could make it to a London meetup.

If more than a couple of people here are based in London and can make it, I'll organise one in central London.

If you could also let me know which day of the week works best for you, that would be great too!

Cheers!

Welcome to Lobsters! From your current profile:

Still love coding by hand.

You may want to attend the Handmade meetups in London. (Latest one happened just a couple weeks ago.) They've been going on for over a year, and we usually announce them in the "What Are You Doing This Weekend?" Lobster threads.

Note: I'm not dissuading you from spinning up your own thing, just alerting you of existing infrastructure :D

Hey - thanks for this. Haha I do sometimes go to the Handmade London meetups. I am not sure that would be the same thing as a lobster meetup though.

  Oh definitely. Lobsters is narrowly focused on computing, and then we're a subset of THAT
  
  Handmade Cities are the largest offline events for systems programmers: 100% indie. This is our portal to meet engineers super into game engines, compilers, terminals, kernels and more
  
  It'd be super cool to see a meetup with a wider umbrella. I just genuinely didn't know if you knew about Handmade London or not.

Depending on when it is, I may see if I can travel down (from Nottingham)!

  I think it would be best to see whether more than a couple of people (i.e. me and you) would be up for it. Otherwise you'd just be traveling down to meet me.

  I might be able to make a London meetup (coming sideways from Bristol)! Excited to hear more.

    Next up, Zurich, Switzerland meetup? It would probably be a very small group.

    Maybe you can all come up to Manchester ;)
