Handmade Meetup this Saturday - Please RSVP!

Abner Coimbre is our Seattle meetup host. You may reach the author at abner@handmadecities.com

Dear Handmade folks,

Happy Spring! The last Saturday of the month is upon us, which means our monthly meetup takes center stage. RSVP your seat at the earliest opportunity!

Note: Our server admin Mariano fixed the Calendar bug! The RSVP system is now shiny and brand new.

The details:

We’re right next to Roosevelt’s Light Rail. We can’t miss it if we have Apple/Google maps:

• Where: One Bite Cafe (in Seattle)
• When: Saturday, March 28th, 2-4PM
• Parking: There is street parking around the block. However, the most reliable place to park is “Green Lake Park & Ride”

The entire shop is reserved for Handmade, so let’s order snacks and drinks to support this family business!

Saturday’s Presentations (2-4PM)

We start with community news from yours truly, followed by featured presentations. Time permitting, we wrap it all up with roundtable discussions.

Featured Presentation #1

Community regular Taylor Robbins needs no introduction!

At the last meetup Reuben showed us how zig build made a huge difference for Orca. However, might we EVER see an alternative to zig build which is just as compelling? Well, Taylor’s been cooking up one for several months now, and I think it’s healthy to see competition in this space.

Let’s keep it all shrouded in mystery to get you to join us.

Featured Presentation #2

How can you stay a (profitable) indie dev while getting contributors to your codebase? I’m pleased to announce I’ve enlisted some legitimate help for Terminal Click, so in this presentation we’ll offer a progress report on what that looks like.

Roundtable Discussion

By popular demand our roundtable will be off-the-cuff this month in particular. Sounds like there’s some pent up rage against our (ex-)employers and we need an outlet for venting or dark humor. That’s why I love that our events are sponsor-free :)

So if you’ve got burning questions for your fellow colleagues, or just a funny piece of gossip, go ahead and let it rip this Saturday.

Seattle After Dark (4-7PM) 🍕

As always, between 4:00 - 4:30PM we will wind down the official meetup and make our way to dinner and drinks. “After Dark” is optional, but during this time I moderate very little, which lets community members get spicier with their takes on our industry as a whole. It’s a hoot.

See you Saturday at 2PM,
Abner Coimbre
