Title: [Meetup] San Francisco - Talks + Social - Thursday June 28 Post by: BitPiggy on June 21, 2012, 01:07:44 AM Heya,
I'm thinking its about time for another Bitcoin meetup in San Francisco. I've be here a couple of months but I've either missed all the meetups or there just haven't been one for a while. Seems strange as my feeling is bitcoin is getting stronger every day. Hence it's high time we meetup! I've added a meetup event -> http://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-Bitcoin-Social/events/70056992/ Please register to get it approved. I have added a bunch of suggested topics, but I'm really just interested to know who's in San Francisco, what are people working on, and maybe giving a talk myself. I've suggested StartupHQ as the venue as I work out of there. Details Where: StartupHQ, 185 Clara St, San Francisco When: Thursday June 28 Suggested topics - What are current pain points of using bitcoin? - What APIs/libraries are out there? What is recommended? - What are people working? Who needs help? - Securing your bitcoins (personal use) - Securing your website/app Semi-bitcoin related topics - Global politics - Eurozone + US economy - what will be the effect on bitcoin?

I'm not working on any Bitcoin projects right now but I'm only a few blocks away so I'll come say hi! Title: Re: [Meetup] San Francisco - Talks + Social - Thursday June 28 Post by: Jan on June 21, 2012, 04:35:09 AM I'll be there

See you soon. Title: Re: [Meetup] San Francisco - Talks + Social - Thursday June 28 Post by: Jan on June 29, 2012, 06:38:34 AM Great meetup. Got to meet a bunch of enthusiastic and well connected bitcoiners. Lots of interesting stuff going on in San Francisco. We were about 15-20 people, and unfortunately I didn't get to talk enough with all of you. Until next time.

Anyways, I've put my agenda + (very) rough notes up on GitHub. Note it has the talk that I didn't end up doing. https://github.com/matholroyd/bitcoin-social-sf/blob/master/2012-06-28/agenda.markdown (https://github.com/matholroyd/bitcoin-social-sf/blob/master/2012-06-28/agenda.markdown). Also, I put a twitter list together of the people I could find. Can't add myself to the list though! @matholroyd https://twitter.com/#!/matholroyd/bitcoin-social-sf/members (https://twitter.com/#!/matholroyd/bitcoin-social-sf/members) Next meetup Well since last night went pretty well, how about thinking about the next one. I think I'm leaving SF on 25 July (for about ~1 month) . Hence was thinking 19th of July. Same place, StartupHQ. I'll endeavour to take better notes next time. Also, I'll organize a projector (that works) so people can do proper presentations. Cheers, ~Mat |
