Idea for a First User Group Meetup?

Events
5

I would like to report back that the first event exceeded my expectation, and I can’t wait to have the second one schedule in a month or two.

What we have done:

  1. Surprise @chreekat joined all the way from Helsinki with us.
  2. Turnout The meetup had 10+ people, 8 joined in person and the rest via the zoom call. One complete newbie and curious about Haskell, a few prio-Haskellers still interested, and the rest actively using Haskell.
  3. Shilling A few of us we have shilled ZuriHac2023 a lot to everyone that how wonderful the event was. I hope we would have a few more people from here going to ZuriHac 2024!
  4. Banter We had a short session of tooling experience sharing (and a bit of ranting too :slight_smile: )
  5. I volunteered myself for a talk about a project of mine using linear haskell, recording is available here.
  6. A few of us continued for some beers later.

I really encourage everyone to have your own HUG (Haskell User Group) too, don’t wait for others, it will be fun!
