Local Meetups

It's been 21 days since we've launched our little community, and in that time we've grown to 62 members, held a first online event, and started working on several new ideas pitched by community members!

I am very happy to share this is officially no longer a one-person show, as I have now met with several co-organizers, and we are planning two (or maybe even 3) in-person local meetups in Berlin, New York, and possibly Prague (more info on that soon!).

We're also discussing new online events like AMAs, community knowledge sharing sessions, setting up a directory of services offered to community members, and a number of other initiatives in the works!
