NYC Mango Meetup June 23, 2017
-
That's right, we are expanding into NYC and doing our second Mango Event in the area this June! The event is being hosted at the AetherStore offices which are right down the street from Grand Central Terminal so are exceptionally easy to get to from anywhere in the region. We want to do an event that can draw a lot of the crowd in from NJ as we have loads of people on the NJ side.
So the big questions are.... what do people want to see at the event? Who can make it out? How do we schedule so that people can get there?
-
Depends what date in June but it's make the drive/train down for this.

That would be awesome.
-
@Rob is going to speak. We'll need a call for speakers, too.
-
Are you thinking a weekday evening, or a Saturday or Sunday?

Normally these are done on weekdays as it is very hard to get people to be able to come out on a weekend. But given the rarity of the event, a weekend isn't totally out of the question.
-
Is this going to be an after work thing again?
I'd almost prefer it starting earlier if you are going to have speakers and stuff.
-
Maybe some car pools or something could be arranged for people coming from further afield?

Grand Central station location is awesome. I can get a train right from PA!

Oh yeah, it is SO easy.
-
Making sure that @shannon and @aboyd are watching this and not caught by surprise when people just show up for the event.
-
This is awesome!! That is easy with train access. not too far from me
I would make it. -
Would be nice if @bsouder could make it, he helped to found the original NYC SC group out there, too.
-
I wish that I could make this one, I made it to the last Mango Meetup in NYC two years ago. @JaredBusch and @pchiodo made it out to that one. And @kkreutzer too!
-
The DFW group will have met weeks ahead of this one, so that will help get the word out and round up attention. NYC and DFW are really good locations for getting interest roused for meetings like this. So this could work out really well.
-
Very exciting to see some local meetups start to take shape! This has been a long time coming.
-
I've seen a lot of meetup's taking place on weekdays. Is this a weekend meetup?
-
Depending on my schedule, I might journey over. Might be in Japan most of June. Not sure yet.

That would be awesome. I can't make this one, sadly. But should be doing the DFW June meetup. Going to push hard to DFW to get three in meetups before the June MangoCon event.

The last part of June is when it will be hard for me to come but the rest is open.
