Interest In New York Microsoft Meetup?
I was looking at Meetup.com, and was shocked there are no Meetups for Microsoft enthusiasts. We need a place people who are excited or interested in Microsoft technologies, products, competitors, jobs and culture can meet to discuss what’s going on with the company. I think there could be some real interest in this sort of thing.
So, if you are in the New York area, and would be interested in meeting up once a month to talk about operating systems, Office, video games, software development, internet browsers, web search/services, or anything even remotely Microsoft related, let me know, and I’ll arrange a Meetup group. Its a shame you have to pay for Meetup before starting a group, which makes it very hard to gauge interest, so let me know in the comments of via the contact form if you want such a group, and I’ll put it all together.
I think this is such a diverse topic, with plenty of interesting directions, that we could do something different from the various meetups. I’d want something with members of the group bringing something to the table every Meetup, maybe in an unconference style, with everyone doing short presentations on new applications, reviews of products, analysis of what Microsoft is doing wrong (or right), mixing it up so there’s something new every few minutes.
I think it could be a lot of fun, and useful for Microsoft employees in the area, users, enthusiasts, and even great for Microsoft haters. I would love if this could happen, so lets get it done!
