Clojurians Log v2

Hey everyone - following discussions at Clojure/West and with other interested parties, I wanted to float the idea of holding the first L.A. meetup on Sunday, 4/23 @ 10 AM. Let's see if that works for everyone before announcing it.

Please @ me to confirm whether or not this would work for you.

Location?

In terms of location, we talked about finding a place where there are tables large enough for groups and possibly breakfast/coffee options, and somewhere in western/central Los Angeles. In that regard I'm still looking for a suitable location near my neighborhood in Culver City, but in the meantime, @dorab has offered his company's office located in Santa Monica.

👍:skin-tone-3: for Culver

As long as it isn’t near USC (same day as Festival of Books)

@pandeiro Sundays in general work for me, though even if it didn't, I wouldn't want you to move the date on my account

Thanks @rgdelato

@mdaines I am looking around Culver but haven't yet found a location that looks like it would work well. If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to go check them out and report back.

Only one I can think of for that time would be http://www.culvercity.org/home/showdocument?id=2073 … cost is minimal, but still a cost.

Nice @mdaines - I will add that to a Google Doc and go check it out this week and report back. Are you on the west side already?

Yeah, Culver. I’ve rented park space (kids party) through the City before, so knew about that one.

There's also the Culver City library, which has a couple meeting rooms, and might not charge a fee. I'll add these to the map and maybe we can all evaluate

Yeah, didn’t suggest the library because they aren’t open on Sundays.

Ah yes, good point. Saturdays are also possible, but during little league season I'm booked 8-10AM, I realized

Yeah, for similar reasons, Saturdays aren’t an option for me.

weekday evenings in santa monica or the south bay are preferable for me

@aaelony The thinking behind weekend was that due to geographic distribution + traffic, anyone non-local to the location would be hard-pressed to make a weekday evening meetup. Where are you located? And are weekends completely impossible for you?

weekends aren't impossible, but it's nice to do non-work things on weekends too 😉

Of course 🙂
