There's also a twitter account for more up to the minute things: twitter.com/linkedlistnyc

I am stoked for this. I have met David a couple times and know he's got the right mind and attitude to do a good job.

NYC is not an easy place to navigate quickly. This newsletter will especially help hackers new to the NYC scene.

I signed up. I've gotten countless StartupDigest e-mails that I've learned to ignore every Monday. If this LinkedList has relevant events, I'll actually read the e-mail.

Probably depends on the curator. I subscribe to a few cities and it really makes a difference.

Which StartupDigest issue(s) do you ignore and why?

nearly all of them: at least in nyc they tend toward bizdev instead of hacking

We'll try to make it relevant. It's still evolving in our heads now. Probably a combination of programming meetups, hackathons, and possibly a cool party or two. Depends on what people want to hear about.

Going to try to swing more towards tech things and away from businessy things.

What kind of stuff do you want to see on the list?

Brilliant. Is there an equivalent in SF?

Upvoted and also interested in this.

Best one I know is the Silicon Valley HackersDigest: http://thehackersdigest.com curated by Santiago (@dfect).

covers lots of bay area user group meetups, hackathons, & hacker dojo events.

Says here in the headline "weekly newsletter for New York hackers," and on the linkedlist main page says "weekly newsletter of cool things for engineers to do in New York." Which is it? :)

Related (but open+public): http://www.nyctechevents.com

Hopefully both :). In reality, I just needed to make the headline more concise.

There's also TheHackersDigest.com

is it the same system as StartupDigest? It's a pretty broken system, afaik.

How about a sample before I surrender my email address?

The New York Functional Programmers meetup is hosting a series of tutorials on learning functional programming. The first one is on Tuesday: http://www.meetup.com/lisp-59/ (there's a waiting list of three people right now, but if it's like most meetups they will add a few spots and/or some people will change their RSVP to no at the last minute, though this is just a guess since I haven't been to this meetup before).

Signed up and following on twitter... looking forward to getting out and about more!

Cool! Would love to hear any thoughts and suggestions you have along the way.
