    Meet-up is getting popular 😄 good sign - we'll have a solid group. Just booked a table for 20. The place is fairly large and usually not too busy. At least we'll have some seats

    Thanks everyone for coming last night! Grand success. Mentioned this to a few folks at the event, but would love to do these monthly or bi-monthly. There’s certainly enough of us here to get a strong showing, and get to do more in-person debates, banter, and demos. Good summary thread of people, projects, and topics from @jeff tang https://twitter.com/tangjeff0/status/1527972094629363712?s=20&t=dpIQn_oViY6RmT_jhoooQg

    Tentatively book June 24th on your calendars for the next one - I’ll make an event page and DM it around within the next week. Very likely at the same place (it’s such a good pub for these kind of things!)

    Hi! my studio Variable specialising in data art and generative design is looking for an intern. We use our in house visual programming tool called Nodes.io so i think it might be relevant here. Please share if you know anybody who might be interested or hit me with questions https://twitter.com/marcinignac/status/1541783394132058121

    Thanks to everyone who came out last night! Was wonderful to see so many familiar faces. The next meetup will be Friday, September 16th: https://lu.ma/f2gwr5az Same pub (The Parcel Yard in King’s Cross station) and same time (6:30pm) For the November edition (tentatively set for Nov 11th but TBD) I’m thinking of hosting it somewhere with a projector so we can do some lightning talks and demos. If you have a topic you want to talk about for 5-15mins let me know sometime this month. Either DM on twitter (@mappletons) or here in slack.

    📣 Next FoC meetup set for November 17th! I organised for us to do it Newspeak house this time around so we can fit a few more people in, and more importantly, we’ll have a projector so people can demo what they’ve been working on. We’ll do short lighting talks (5-10 mins) to keep it focused and save time for socialising. Message me if you’d like to demo! Doesn’t have to be anything big. Anything related to experimental programming / design / tools for thought counts. You can grab a spot here: https://lu.ma/foc-london-nov

    Not yet, but there will likely be a pub hangout towards the end of the month - I’ll set a date by next week. Hoping to do another demo-based meetup at Newspeak house in February (similar to the November one) but currently figuring out how to make funding work - eg. need £££ for pizza and drinks for everyone when we do it at non-pub locations. Currently debating between setting up a fund on open collective (https://opencollective.com/) and scouting for sponsors. Ideally the latter since the former looks like it could get complex with accounting and taxes (even if it’s just everyone pays £5 in and we use it for food). If anyone knows of companies who might be willing to sponsor a couple meetups a year, send them my way!

    The next meetup will be on Friday, February 10th! You can register here: https://lu.ma/m44byo0a We’ll be hosted by Newspeak House. Format will be the same as November’s event: demos, drinks, pizza, and plenty of time to chat. We’ll have a bunch of FoC-ers presenting their projects. If you’d like to present, please DM me on Twitter or email hello@maggieappleton.com. It can be anywhere from 5 to 15 mins long, and can be about anything that feels FoC-ish: new ideas for programming interfaces, thoughts on humane computing, things you’ve learned about end-user programming. Small, weird talks are welcome!

    Hey everyone My cofounder and I have been researching into a subset of end-user programming and how to make automation and AI more accessible. We are growing the team and keen to speak with a London based Head of Product folks who are looking for new roles that love this space (hence asking here!) Would be happy to chat - just DM me :) https://www.thehumbleai.com/careers-jobs P.s if this shouldn’t be posted here just let me know and otherwise I can remove it

    I've been building a system that gives AI bots 3 big things they're currently missing: identity, memory and agency. If this is of interest to anyone, please talk to me at the FoC meetup tomorrow. 🙂

    PSA: there’s a generative AI hackathon coming up in April in London. I know Sarah Drinkwater, the organiser, and she is legit, plus the sponsors are excellent — there’s going to be a strong science contingent. Applications are now open, I’m sure it will be of interest to many here https://twitter.com/sarahdrinkwater/status/1628755206249881600
