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.
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.
Thanks for the up votes. The meet up post is up. I look forward to becoming a more active part of the less wrong community.
A friend (Dvorak) and I are going to start a Houston meetup group, but he already runs a hackerspace and can’t really take on more organizational duties. I’m a long time lurker, and would be mostly in charge of organizing the group. Unfortunately, I don’t have the Karma to post on the discussion area. Can I beg an up vote or two off of someone?
