If you’re around, we can grab a beer and have some Kotlin-chat

Hey, I'm still looking for topics for our Thursday meetup. If you have something to present please don't hesitate to contact me !

Hi guys, quick question, we're hosting the Kotlin Meetup on April 19th, would anyone be interested in giving a talk?

Who is 'you' ? Where would it be?

Here's the link to the meetup https://www.meetup.com/kotlin-berlin/events/tvhffpyxgbzb/ Will be hosted at Blacklane's office and is sponsored by talent.io. If you're interested in giving a talk feel free to reach out at kate@talent.io

The links about Gradle+Kotlin from my talk are available in the README here https://github.com/jmfayard/gradledemo

@ashdavies awesome talk 👏

And impressive smileys skills!

Is anyone at the UIKonf in Berlin? Apparently there was a talk about Kotlin/Native at 11:50. Did anyone record it or knows when/where a video it will be uploaded?

Found a livestream

Hi there, I'll be in Berlin in a couple weeks for the Algolia Berlin Community Party - any Kotliners interested to meet and chat around good practices for modern Android development, Voice/NLP technologies, SaaS APIs, and Search / Content Discovery UX? 🙂 Needless to say, you are all invited to the Party! We want to bring together hackers and product builders, interesting technical talks from the community, all around food and drinks: if that sounds interesting to you, grab a ticket here while there are some: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/algolia-community-party-in-berlin-tickets-67979980953

Hi, on Thursday we have our next KUG meetup @Outfittery. I will make short talk about potential Spring Boot usage without annotations. There is still one more slot for another talk. If somebody has some project/talk lying in the drawer than let me know 🙂

I would love to do Kotlin training in Berlin. Anyone has hints on how to get started?

Hi guys, We Co. (holding Meetup, WeWork and others) is going up in smoke since their IPO was shelved. Not much has improved on Meetup since it was sold. The future of the platform is very uncertain imo considering how things are spinning out of control at their holding company. What if we just ditch Meetup altogether and announce and discuss our events here? I'm curious about your thoughts.

Why not announce it everywhere? Meetup+here+facebook events+eventbrite+.... You don't owe anything to meetup, it's just another distribution channel.

Meetup costs serious money and I'm not sure whether it's still worth it. Not sure about the pricing of Eventbrite.

Oh I see. Maybe start asking for email adress for the events, then you don't need Meetup in the long run?

Eventbrite is free as long as the events are free.

Eventbrite tickets could be a good alternative to replace the RSVPs on Meetup. @krotki what's your take on that?

The good thing about EventBrite is that you can collect e-mails, unlike Meetup https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/How_To/how-to-collect-email-opt-ins-to-help-you-comply-with-laws-in-your-area?lg=en_US

Hmmm I think majority of our group members discovered a meetup trough meetup.com. I think it is still valuable to have it there. I know the cost is a factor, but maybe we could find a partner/sponsor to cover that ?

I think this should stay as one of the channels as Jean said.

I haven't used EventBrite before. It is hard for me to say how useful it is for reoccurring events and if it has a, lets say, marketing platform.

In general we should have a place where we show the schedule, agenda and history of the meetup.

We used EventBrite at GDG Istanbul. We had a list of 10K emails at the end 🙂

But we moved to Meetup (mostly because Google wanted us to) But also it was useful for retention.

Eventbrite is better for one off events. Meetup is better for recurring.

Btw, this website template is amazing: https://github.com/gdg-x/aura

👍 I like it ...
