Local Qt meetups
- Existing meetups:
- Tokyo meets up often
- Oslo once a month
- Boston once every other month
- California somewhat frequently
- other unknown
- Broadening the scope:
- Barcelona Free Software: Idea started as Qt Meetup, but decided not to restrict to Qt - open up for all FOSS
- Why limit it to Qt? Preaching to the choir
- Experience from PDXCPP is also that there's a lot of variance of knowledge level
- Conclusion: broadening the scope is a good idea for cross-pollination
- Narrow scope experiences:
- In Tokyo, 10-20 people every month come
- Boston has a good experience for networking
- One session about "what's new in Qt"
- Topic of the day - a prepared session
- You can find companies using Qt in job sites and see who's hiring
- What's the sweet spot?
- Not too big that people can't sit or can't get enough pizza
- 50 is getting big
- What to use to communicate?
- Meetup.com
- Whenever the meeting is announced, get your friends to sign up immediately
- English content mostly - difficult to guarantee that everyone speaks the native language
- Except in Japan
- Sessions:
- We could share presentations, content
- Recycle content from other conferences too
- Don't underestimate the power of a good topic (Intro to Qt Creator, etc.)
- Typical length: 30 min
- How can Tero help?
- Calendar on the website/forums
- Swag (stickers, pens, t-shirts)
- Let organisers known when he's coming
- Talk to Jens
- Topic list with content for meetups
- Provide Social Media visibility
