    If you haven't started yet, now is the time- Start signing up in Event Bright for those additional parties/events for GDC week. Tickets go fast.

    Brian/Wes- is there anything set up with GDC for High school teachers to have a meet-up space/time?

    Let's aim for Tuesday-Thursday Night for our annual "lets round up the newbies and eat summit"

    I will start digging around on the networking app when we get closer.

    I live in SF so I'll around whenever anyone comes in.

    Every year for the last few years I attend the Github Open Source party at Github headquarters. It's not K-12 or EDU specific but the food and drink is excellent and it's free. I have also met very interesting people there. You do have to register in advance as it "sells" out.

    There will be a meetup at Noisebridge, an open source hackerspace in SF, for Godot users either the Sat before OR after, not sure yet. You don't have to use Godot but if you are more interested in indie game dev and open source projects, come on down. If you've ever read Cory Doctorow books, some of his early works took place in and around Noisebridge, although it moves every few years. If you don't know who he is, maybe you've heard the phrase enshittification, he coined that word.

    There is also usually a meetup at one of the local arcades/brewcades which are fun to go to. 

     

    I also have a dog and love walking around parks and nature here. If anyone wants to meet up I'm down. I don't too many of the industry events as I'm looking for meeting more interesting people doing interesting things.

    I just wrote a longer post and it seems to have disappeared.

    I live in SF so I'll be around and am up for many things.

    I like the Github Open Source party, usually on Tuesday night during GDC. Great food and drink, it's free but register in advance it always sells out.

    There's a Godot Open Source meetup at Noisebridge Sat before or after, hasn't been decided yet.

    There's also a general meetup at one of the local arcades/brewcades that's fun to go to.

    I'd love to meetup with more folks. I dont' do like AAA industry events and have never found EDU events so we are all we've got.

    Responses also sometimes disappear for me--or at least, don't show up for a few hours after I post them. I contacted CSTA about it a few months ago and they said they'd look into it, but haven't heard anything back.

    I had some issues last fall along the same lines. I am thinking it was a hosting issue or something weird on their backend.

    I'll be working that day so I can't make it, one day I'd like to attend this EDU meetup.

    Did anyone get tickets to the Github meetup? Normally a few people I know share with me when they open it up but I haven't heard yet. I'll check that website and see.
