Announcing Hackers and Founders Boston (First meetup 9/11)

Related question: I'm moving to Boston -- Waltham actually -- in less than a month and want to get involved in the local startup scene. This Hackers and Founders meetup seems like a great start and I'll definitely attend once I get up there, but for those of you in the area, what else would you recommend?

subscribe to http://thestartupdigest.com , I'm the curator for events there. Also feel free to drop me an email j@jasonlbaptiste.com

Will do -- thanks. And double thanks for all the quality comments and blog posts.

Check out http://thestartupdigest.com/ and select Boston, lots of great events posted each week. Jason just happened to take over as the curator as well.

WebInnovators (Sept 10 i think?), anything at Betahouse, tech cocktails, boston mediamakers, barcamp, Venture Cafe. Check out the other coworking places too, but since I was a betahouse guy I'm biased.

Betahouse is a coworking space and its principals comprise the hub of the entrepreneurial community in Boston: http://betahouse.org/

Microsoft NERD is a space offered by MS for a lot of tech events, a partial listing of which is: http://microsoftcambridge.com/Events/tabid/57/Default.aspx

For more info, follow these people on Twitter, they will give a good lay of the tech land:

Massinno is a good event close to you. Webinno is the biggest. There are tons of other small meetups and projects, especially in Cambridge.

tl;dr stuff:

- Free, after startup bootcamp, it's in cambridge, under 21 is okay, starts at 6:30. Don't have to book via eventbrite, but would be nice so we can keep track of estimated attendee count.

Also: We're listing other HF chapters. I have bay area, nyc, and indy there. Please leave comment, email,etc. if you have a chapter+url. thx.

This should be rather good. I miss Boston already. Jason and Mark are good guys and I trust that this will be a solid event.

Is this organization associated with YCombinator? Based on the use of the orange color and the H logo, it feels from a brand perspective like it is.
