digitalmars.D - D Meetup in Berlin

Hi All,

I am a Berlin based D developer who has been working with D for 
about 2 and a half years. Like other more well known names in 
these forums I work for a company called Sociomantic.

I am interested in organizing some meetups for D programmers in 
the nearby area. The first of these will be very informal and 
involve a social meeting at a cafe or bar to chat and gauge any 
interest in future events and in what direction people think 
these should head. I was thinking of arranging this for mid 
January next year but am very flexible on the dates.

Let me know if you are interested in taking part in this or any 
future Berlin based events.

Thanks,
Ben.

Hi, another Sociomantic developer checking in. This sounds like a 
great idea, I will definitely be there.

I would be totally in but unfortunately I won't be in Berlin at 
the time. I hope it goes well and there is another meetup soon!

Sounds great, wanted to initiate that myself for quite a while, 
but lacked the time to do so.
Lot of people use http://www.meetup.com/, maybe that would get us 
some more visitors.

We thought of at first targeting more towards the existing 
community. Then see how it goes and if there is momentum and 
interest in doing a more open event, hosting a few talks, some of 
them targeted as non-D users. I think that kind of event might be 
more suitable to announce in http://www.meetup.com/. But we are 
open to other ideas too I think (I don't want to talk in Ben's 
behalf ;-).

Mozilla is also starting organizing weekly hacking sessions for 
Rust in Berlin, so keep in mind that it doesn't need to be 
organized as a Dconf, just people hanging, discussing and coding 
is enough for me to be there!

So first up thanks everyone for coming and making it a good 
event, a good time was had by all I think.

The current plan moving forward, based on feedback from people on 
the night, is to try and organize monthly meetups that will take 
place on a Friday night. The format will be one main presentation 
followed by questions, discussion, and a drink or two. The 
presentations could be in the form of a formal talk, a workshop 
style discussion talk, or even a discussion about some problems 
you are currently having with some facet of D. There is also the 
option to have a time for one or two lightning talks after the 
initial presentation.

The venue we used was great but I don't think it will work for 
presentations so we will need to find a new venue.

I'll post again when I have found a good venue and we have a date 
for the next meetup. Thanks again to everyone for coming along 
and making it a good night.
