DC Meetup: Last Discussion Thread

2 Post author: atucker 15 April 2011 04:48AM

Followup to: this and this

I'm going to be in Cambridge for the next week or so, so I'm posting things now to make sure that we can get the ball rolling.

There's going to be DC meetups on May 1st and May 15th. 2 PM - 8 PM, unless anyone objects.

There was discussion about whether to meet in Bethesda or NW DC. I propose that we just try a meetup in both, May 1st in Bethesda and May 15th in NW DC.

Some questions I have:

  • Any suggestions on what I should look for in a venue?
  • Anything you want me to ask the Cambridge meetup group?

I have some preliminary things to talk about in mind, but if you guys could think about a few topics too, it would be helpful.

The three main things important to me in a venue: ability to hear more than the people immediately next to you talking at a reasonable volume, allowed to either buy or bring something to drink, accessible by public transit that comes more than once an hour.

(I currently plan to come to both in the early afternoon, having evening commitments both days.)

If the venue would allow, I could bring board games.
