Stack Overflow DevDays
- brown9 17y agoI'm pretty bummed on the lack of an NYC event (or greater Northeastern US for that matter).
- scorpion032 17y agoI'd ve loved it if it were also in India. Bangalore.
- lisperforlife 17y agoI second that.
- strider24 17y agoIts far more difficult to organize in a different country. I was surprised to see it being held in London. PS. I live in Bangalore
- badri 17y agowhy is it difficult to organize in India?
- teej 17y agoAmtrak trains go straight into Washington DC. People take the train down for events in this area all the time.
- jaydub 17y agoAlternatively, you can grab the Bolt Bus, or others like it (https://www.boltbus.com/default.aspx https://www.boltbus.com/default.aspx). Cheaper and slower than Amtrak but apparently has decently usable wifi.
- pbz 17y agoWashington is not close enough?
- dantheman 17y agoAgreed, a NYC or Boston conference would be good.
- bscofield 17y agoHey, they totally stole our schtick! http://developer-day.com/ http://developer-day.com/ Though we're only doing one city at a time...
- Mongoose 17y agoI'm wondering how many people will wear the suggested identity t-shirts. As cool as wearing your internet identity on your chest is, I'd kinda rather go in regular clothes + a nametag.
- intranation 17y agoThe official site is kinda light on details. I'm not sure I would pay $100 for that, at least not yet.
- abossy 17y agoI would like to know who the speakers are first. I know, it's more important to meet fellow Stack Overflow folks, but I meet geeks all the time in the Bay Area. "Six great speakers in each city" could be anybody.
- mhp 17y agoYou can always get a full refund at any point in time. The London event is already half sold out and Joel announced it today (no post on blog.stackoverflow.com or carsonified.com yet either).
- Raphomet 17y agoA conference I can afford! Aside from the celebrity wow, the $99 price tag caught my eye first. (Not to say that more expensive conferences aren't worth every dollar, but when you're kind-of consulting/running a struggling software/on a ramen diet you have to count your pennies.)
- addicttostress 17y agoI must be alone in loving to work with people online but not so much in person. I don't think I could handle an event like that. I do love Stack Overflow, I'm happy it gained so many users.
- xenophanes 17y agoIf they sell out all 1,500 tickets it definitely doesn't make you alone in that preference...
- pclark 17y agoswap Stack Overflow karma for Hacker News karma and I'm there (london).
- petercooper 17y agoDitto. I'd much rather go to a Hacker News event generally. Despite covering a wide range of topics, there's something a bit proprietary/Microsoft-y about Stack Overflow that I can't put my finger on. Besides, I much prefer the wider range of non-programming stuff HN covers :) Thumbs up for HN events!
- gustavo_duarte 17y agoSeconded. Is there a list of local HN meetups anywhere? Or an informal process for announcing or setting one up?
- dinkumthinkum 17y agoum ok. Thanks for the heads up ... ... Kind of odd that Jeff Atwood is only going to one of the things isn't it?
- stewiecat 17y agoHe's got a newborn son now so he probably want to limit travel for the time being. Just a guess though.
