Clojurians Log v2

I saw that the organizer of Oslo Clojure Meetup has stepped down and the meetup group will shut down on November 13, if nobody takes over. Is anyone able to pick up the baton? It would be a shame to lose all those 100+ members present, and even though it's been inactive for over a year, I'd definitely attend if a meetup were to be scheduled.

I guess @augustl has a more precise answer, but keeping a meetup alive cost some money fore the organizers.

And IMO, keeping the meetup alive for the whatever 100 passive members, is not with it.

It was kind’a depressing when no one showed up.

That's true. Personally I'm hoping that one of the Clojure shops in Oslo (Kodemaker, Ardoq, Oiiku...) will pick it up, kind of like Bekk Consulting has done with Elm. But I understand that it requires a lot of time, effort and money.

As a coorganizer I’d be the first to step up if there was an interest in actually attending Clojure meetups. But I have a limited interest in doing meetups for somewhere between 0 and 10 attendees.

If we’re that few, I’d rather just invite people for lunch at Ardoq every once in a while.

Maybe the landscape has changed. I didn't know about Clojure before September last year. Maybe more people eager to attend meetups have appeared as well? I guess sending an email to the meetup mailing list would be a way to find this out?

@augustl did that on the 26th of October.

I read that, but he's asking whether anybody is willing to take over the meetup group, not whether there is any interest in joining any future meetups.
