We’re going outdoors!

• This month we’re bouldering at the climbing walls in Marymoor Park. Saturday, June 8th, at 2:00 PM. Here’s a map link to the exact location.
• Climbing shoes, chalk bag, water bottle, and sunscreen recommended. Parking at Marymoor is $1 per day.
• There’s also a playground for small kids and picnic tables right next to the climbing area. Feel free to bring friends and family!

If it looks like rain I’ll send a follow-up email and we’ll just go to Edgeworks as usual.

Detroit, Meet Handmade!

@ The Congregation Coffee Shop
9321 Rosa Parks Blvd Detroit
– Via Google Maps

The Handmade Community was built on the shocking idea that developers aught to know what their code is doing.

It all started with Handmade Hero, but has led to some great talks and some great projects.

Handmade Detroit is about helping each other put those ideas to use, while building a network of like minded developers, so we can re-normalize how software is made.

It was wonderful to meet up with like-minded folks at the first Handmade DC Meetup in February! Among other topics, we discussed PS1 development, language and compiler development for a declarative JSON-like language, and AI GPU programming using Zig.

When?

Saturday, 2 March 2024, 1pm to 3pm

Where?

George Washington University Student Center 800 21st St NW, Washington, DC 20052. Entrance floor.
The University Student Center has a garage for visitor parking.
We will meet in the food court area. If you see a Panera cafe, you’re in the right place! We will have a sign at our table so you can identify us.

What?

Bring a project, a topic to present or discuss, an idea for an activity, or just a curious mind. If you are not sure that you have something to contribute, or fear that you are not ready, please know that the main priority is to provide a safe and supportive space to share the things we are passionate about and hone our craft.

Come join us to make some friends, learn something new, and build better software!

Hello,

I am keeping the every other week cadence going and doing another co-working session tomorrow. Same time and place. 2:30pm at the cafe in Third Place Books Ravenna. I will plan to grab the large table to the left of the ordering counter again. Just a heads up that there aren’t any outlets on hand over there so charge your laptops beforehand if you can.

The flow of working from 2:30 – 5 and then moving down to the pub for a hang and conversation has been great so let’s keep it going!

Cheers,

-Phil, Technical Producer
