I've never done one of these before but it seems like a lot of fun. I would probably be going alone if I went, do people usually enter this alone and meet people there or go in with friends and then maybe merge with others to form a group?

Either/or. Whatever you are most comfortable with.

There's a hour blocked off for you to network and meet other people, which hopefully will lead to some team self-organization.

I plan on going with a coworker or two. I'll be the girl with a half shaved head and circuit board plugs, come say hi! (Though this is Providence, I may need to be more specific ;])

Providence is awesome. If anybody is going from out of town visit Tazza Cafe http://www.tazzacaffe.com/

Nothing wrong with Brooklyn Lager on tap.

Wow, something happening in Providence! I can't help but notice the site doesn't list an actual location, does anyone know where this is taking place?

Beta spring is hosting so probably 95 Chestnut, Third Floor, Providence, RI 02903.

Thanks!

Eeek, is it not clear that it's at Betaspring? We'll get the site updated right now to fix that.

If you're local, we've also got JavaScript and Functional Programming user groups being spun up as well hosted at local startups.

Sweet. It said Betaspring on the EventBrite page, but I didn't see an address anywhere. Not that I'm above wandering around downcity following people with laptop bags ;)

Just updated the site with a map.

We have a page for Providence on Lanyrd - not much upcoming at the moment, but the HP Lovecraft conference in August looks kind of fun... http://lanyrd.com/places/providence/

hyped! still have to come up with an idea to work on tho~
