Toronto Hacker News Night

19 points3pt1415914 comments

A couple of days ago a posting hit the front page of HN for a Toronto Hacker News Night. After a bunch of voting on both the venue and the night we have a winner: Sin and Redemption - 2010-04-29.

Since there was such a huge response from Toronto, Waterloo, and, even, OTTAWA hackers I created a Toronto HN twitter account to organize around. That way we won't need to spam the HN front page every time we want to have a get-together. Follow @TorontoHN to keep up to date on things. Of course, if pg has a problem with me using any part of his branding, company name, whatever, I'll take the twitter account down immediately, but I don't think he will mind.

Thanks for the awesome response gals and guys, I can't wait for the 29th.

What time are we meeting at? In order to RSVP, we could use http://guestlistapp.com.

I think starting it at 7:00 PM is probably a good idea. Sin and Redemption is a pretty small pub, we should probably make a reservation.

Done!

Is the link. As for time, I set 6:30 because I'll need to eat once I get there, but I'm sure many people will show up at 7 or later.

I deleted the event I created. Feel free to ignore my email as well. :)

My Gmail just went down while I was emailing you back :S We both made them at the same time. Thanks for deleting yours (even though it was first :D)

Hrm - GuestListApp just sent the confirmation, saying "error in parsing this message..." :-|

Are you using a blackberry? We have been tracking this bug for a while now, and it appears to be a bug in the Blackberry email application from what we can tell. Newer Blackberries don't seem to give this message. It happens when the email client tries to convert the HTML email to text, instead of just using the text version of the email. Viewing the email with a different email client with solve this problem.

Awesome! I should be there. Coming from Waterloo so if anyone is up for a carpool I may be able to help. I'll be living in Toronto as of June so hope to meet some people as well, I won't have any friends as of June haha :)

I imagine we might be able to get a Waterloo HN meetup together.

Any interest?

There's not a Hacker News meetup in Waterloo but there is Dev house run by the guys from Postrank.com - It's the last monday of every month and it's basically full of chit chat and presentations of the like you'd find on hacker news .. I'm sure some of the members visit here too. Check it out: http://devhouse.postrank.com/

Do you by any chance need a place to rent starting June? ;) Incidently, I'm going to be moving out of my place downtown in June. Drop me a line if you might be interested :)

Looking forward. Don't forget there's a StartupDrinks the night before at Elephant and Castle - if you don't mind hearing the latest about, er, Rails...

Darn. I'll be in California on a business trip. If there's another next month, I think I'll come out to it.

Signed up. See you guys there.
