@richiardiandrea: lucky you guys! Vancouver community seems really active! How many people normally attend?

leontalbot 2016-07-18T22:55:58.000003Z

With @marvin we're slowly starting one in montreal

richiardiandrea 2016-07-18T22:56:27.000005Z

@leontalbot: we are active but not too many at the moment, more or less five always going

richiardiandrea 2016-07-18T22:57:02.000007Z

but we are kind of constant and this is great to have people coming on board if they are interested

richiardiandrea 2016-07-18T22:57:17.000008Z

we help with cider/emacs/spacemacs conf

richiardiandrea 2016-07-18T22:57:31.000009Z

and start from zero if necessary

leontalbot 2016-07-18T22:58:53.000010Z

@richiardiandrea: yeah ok. It is a long run work for enrolling people isn't it? So for a first Hands on lab meetup you suggest using directly emacs?

nightcode is built for new to clojure peeps if you haven't seen it.

richiardiandrea 2016-07-18T23:01:51.000013Z

mmm...no 😄 well...it's tough...depends on the person. Usually we show the various options first and see the feedback, if you feel they are adventurous enough definitely yes but with a big warning...

learn the two can be too much

richiardiandrea 2016-07-18T23:02:25.000015Z

but if you do it then, well, it's a plain sail 😄 I personally learned both at the same time

leontalbot 2016-07-18T23:05:49.000016Z

Yeah i guess i agree. Learn one thing at a time

leontalbot 2016-07-18T23:06:16.000017Z

@richiardiandrea: Thanks for your feed-back

leontalbot 2016-07-18T23:06:51.000018Z

Have an awesome meetup :-)

richiardiandrea 2016-07-18T23:08:29.000019Z

no problem 😄 in our case we have hacknights because a meetup with presentations every week is not feasible, but the group is also small so basically we have "presentations" anyways because people share their findings

leontalbot 2016-07-18T23:09:14.000020Z

Nice!
