Austin LW'er here. I totally would have come to this, but somehow I missed the announcement in the meta-meetup thread. I will watch for the next one of these and absolutely be there.

Edit: Wait... why was this downvoted?

We will probably have another next week at the same time. I will PM you whenever I settle upon new dates.

I won't claim it was hugely successful - no one else showed up, but I did get a couple of people at my hackerspace interested, and some vague promises of people coming next week. Still, I think there's potential here. We'll see.

Sorry I missed the meetup. I wasn't feeling up for it, but I really wanted to observe the meetup.

I'm a Waco LWer, and I was going to go this, but I missed it, appropriately, because I used the time to finish my liquid-cooled Bitcoin mining rig.

Also, the late Sunday night thing didn't help but I guess that's their regular time.

Bah, we choose Sunday rather then Monday because we thought more people could make it.

Monday would be worse since I'd be visiting from Waco -- 3-4 hour drive. Whatever happened to Saturday? Or Friday?

Friday or Saturday might be future possibilities - aligning our schedule with TX/RX makes that difficult sometimes, but there's no reason why we have to meet in the hackerspace. If several people end up wanting other times, we can move things around. I wasn't expecting much interest outside of Houston, so I didn't think that later Sunday would have been a problem.

If anyone else in the area wants to come by, but has times they can't make it, let me know.

I'm sorry I missed it. I'll check in regularly for info on the next one.

I don't know and it was on both of you posts in this thread. I voted up on both because I could not discern the reason.
