@stevekrouse Yep, I’m in. Also in helping you setting it up. There are some typical meet-up location options I can tell you about. Maybe we should meet for a coffee soon and spend an afternoon talking about that?

🍴I'm planning a group dinner for future of programming folks in London for Nov 28th! Time and location TBD. If you'd be interested in joining, please add an emoji to this message or comment on it (in its thread) or message me directly <!channel>

Is anyone coming to the Mother of All Demos event at Somerset House tomorrow? @Arthur will be giving a short talk as part of the program

A day of talks, performances and workshops marking the 50th anniversary of internet pioneer Douglas Engelbart’s original 1968 presentation of the key elements that would shape modern computing.

Haha that's a reasonable idea. Take some of the work off my plate and spread it around. Anyone else want to volunteer to help plan events?

Hi all, I’ll be in London April 19 - May 3 if anyone wants to get together

Saw that Jonathan Blow will be speaking at casual connect game conf, £420, so, ahem, skipping it. But maybe @stevekrouse should see if he’s interested in giving a future of coding talk / podcast with an audience? 😉

Great venue & lineup

anyone else going to PWL conf on Sunday or Curry On next week?

I'm back in town for a little while so let's make something happen <!channel>! I'm looking for: 1. Suggestions on location 2. Volunteers to give short talks or demos 3. Volunteers to help with the organizing As for timing, after work during the week seems to be best. Is next week too soon? Maybe the week after?

@jonathoda will be visiting the UK - he is doing a talk on October 28 at 3pm at University of Kent, which is open to public if anybody wanted to join! https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/eventscalendar.html?view_by=upcoming&amp;tag=researchall&amp;eid=39982

How about the Royal George at Euston Station, Thursday (from) 6pm. I’ll make reservations. Add comment if you think you can make it. Just so I know how many to book for.

@Leonard Pauli I am in London right now... are you about tomorrow? Otherwise I could meet you in Sweden between Tuesday and Friday

Anyone in London this week, or 1st weekend of July? I am about to hand in my PhD (finally!) and then moving to Reykjavik on the 5th July (new project: http://www.sonicwriting.org/blog/intent). Would be cool to say hi to some people before I leave! (cc @Joe Trellick)

Hey all 👋 As things are starting to open up again, would love to meet up with some fellow FoC folks. Would people be up for a pub drink in early March? Thinking somewhere central like Soho/King’s Cross (I don’t have a specific place in mind yet so recs welcome). Emoji reply if you’re interested with votes on which dates would work: :dodo: Thursday March 3rd 🍩 Friday March 4th 🎩 Saturday March 5th

Hi all, I'll be in London in 3 weeks, would love to meet-up 🙂

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

This message was deleted.

@Maggie Appleton @jeff tang is there any more space available on Friday? Met someone yesterday who would be interested in coming along

Hi there! I’m Pol 👋 Founder at Fermat (https://fermat.ws) and long-time member of FoC! We’re coming all the way from Barcelona and@Gerard Serra and I are very excited to see you all tomorrow in London 😊

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&amp;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!)

The June edition of our London meetup is going to be on the 24th. Just made the Luma event. Feel free to register here: https://lu.ma/6y2n9p0q Same location as last time - Parcel Yard in King’s Cross. Hope to see you all there!
