Thanks for getting this kicked off!

Saw you found @zzstoatzz.io too, I just boosted with the community account.

Also looking for feedback on functions you’d like to see on the community website to support your local meetup

I filed one inspired by all these new regional meetups LFG functionality for new regions / cities · Issue #22 · ATProtocol-Community/atproto-community · GitHub

Yes, this has been a goal of mine for quite some time. I have a number of people at Deep Dish Rust who would also be interested.

I’m up in Madison, but I imagine Chicago is gonna be a much better place to find other atproto people. I’m happy to help out with organizing and whatnot.

Some thoughts - just throwing these out there:

Dates

End of June feels right to me so perhaps June 19 or 26 (Friday). Gives us time to find a venue and get the word out but totally open to other ideas.

Venue

I’m about an hour out of the Chicago so will likely need help from someone in the city to suggest and find a venue. Anyone have any suggestions?

Afterparty

I’m a dj and play regularly in the city so would love to have a more social event after. I could probably lock down Arbella in River North. https://arbellachicago.com

Ok that’s it for now. More thoughts as they come.
