Someone should make a global map with a web app that you can place a search engine protected email address on + GPS location - to contact in case of desire to grab a coffee over locale-focused startup & tech convos. Boom.

Anyone want to do a Sacramento / Davis / Folsom meet up? I can host!

Ready to host like 4000 folks?

there's that many HN folks in the Sacramento area?

Sounds like we could take over Discovery Park and call it good. :)

Yes! Applications are open for YC Winter 2023!

Started out /s, but upon consideration I imagine YC really is the closest you could get to the spirit of HN in an in-person meetup.

A new London one was planned for September 8th but cancelled due to the venue becoming unavailabel (day of Queen's death). https://www.meetup.com/london-hacker-news-meetup/events/2881... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32660447 . If I recall 180 people signed up.

It does if you want it to. These have always been privately organized. If you set one up in Chicagoland, let me know.

+1 for a Chicago area IRL event. Would also love to be in the know.

Wait - people still do IRL?!

I know, right? Meetup.com pretty much turned into OnlineOnly.com . After going online during the pandemic, my meetup members showed no interest in IRL meetups again after things calmed down, so I basically gave up figuring it's a sign of the times.

Someone should do a startup to disrupt meetup.com.

Meet up is the experts exchange of social planning.
