From glen at glenjarvis.com Tue Jun 18 02:00:55 2019 From: glen at glenjarvis.com (Glen Jarvis) Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2019 06:00:55 +0000 Subject: [Baypiggies] Looking for speakers and volunteers Message-ID: We're looking for speakers and volunteers to help organize BayPIGgies. We need speakers for June and July. Do you have a PyCon talk or a talk for PyBay that you'd like to practice? Please let me know. I personally would *love* to see a talk on gRPC. What talks are you interested in? Let us know and we'll see what we can find. Are you looking to contribute to an open source community? Would you like to help us organize and find speakers for BayPIGgies? This is a great way to contribute to the open source community. Please join our team..

We recently organised this meetup: http://meetu.ps/e/GRNYZ/GGR12/d We'd like to ask the baypiggies members advices on: 1. How to find meetup locations? 2. Is wifi a Meetup requirement (we assume yes, but asking if you ever did without) 3. How do you present the usergroup to companies? 4. How do you decide topics and speakers 5. Mistakes to avoid 6. Further advices We also saw you have a job listing on your website, that's really awesome, we'll introduce it soon. Thank you very much!

However, the speaker will very frequently need a connection to make their demos work. > 3. How do you present the usergroup to companies? > Usually, you explain that it's a great way to recruit engineers, and it makes the company look cool in front of engineers. Typically, if a company has a new office, they'll want to show it off. > 4. How do you decide topics and speakers > Usually, you take what you can get. If the speaker is new, they should stick to a shorter talk. If you know they're good, try to convince them to give a longer talk. If possible, have a wide mix. > 5. Mistakes to avoid > Avoid charging for the meetup. > 6. Further advices > Try to make it easy for people to attend: * Standard time if possible * Standard place if possible * Parking, if that's a thing where you live * Easy to find where the meeting is Generally, if you want something done, you have to do it yourself until you get a base of people willing to help out. > We also saw you have a job listing on your website, that's really awesome, > we'll introduce it soon. > Cool. That's a great way to get some people to come, especially if they're more junior. > Thank you very much! > Sorry it took so long for anyone to respond. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
