As ranebo said, it is more of a social event focused on meeting other people in the tech community. My cofounder Jason and I met though Hacker News here in Tokyo so we figured there would be other people who would want to meet up.

We keep it fairly unstructured so that the community can mix and discuss what is important to them. It's a great place to get feedback on a project, find other people to work with, ask questions, and share experiences. If you don't know anyone, just ask around for me (Paul) and introduce yourself.

Definitely more the former. Just walk up to anyone and introduce yourself. Enjoy the good beer and food while talking with interesting people. I go any time I am able and see it as a social event more than anything.

I'm assuming that this time although a different venue the plan is the same.
