Istanbul Meetup

[peak plume]

hi @hot mango ! Sorry for the delay since I was OOO. Looking forward to helping you set this up.

[hot mango]

no worries at all totally reasonable 🫶

I'm still figuring this out in my mind since dagger is quite new tech and I thought I might help this to reach broader community, especially in Turkey at Istanbul

people are really interested in learning new tech here

[peak plume]

That is awesome! Looking forward to working with you to help spread the word!

Hi Miranda! is it allowed to have more than one venue sponsors?

[peak plume]

Hi! Sorry for the delay. Yup, we can have more than one. Our goal is for each location to have at least 1 meetup a quarter, so there will be many chances for venues to sponsor.

as Dagger is new technology, we might not find many people to talk about Dagger, so, am I allowed to do these presentations by myself?

[hot mango]

I'm also planning to make Trendyol where I'm currently working as full-time job venue sponsor, is it also allowed?

[peak plume]

yup! We are building out a "meetup in a box" experience for meetup organizers to lead the meetups 100% on their own.

Yes, it is completely fine to use your current workplace as a venue sponsor.

Okay then we can say that I'm ready to organize meetups for Dagger by having two of the companines being venue sponsors Kubezy and Trendyol

do you want me to send an email for more formal announcement?

[peak plume]

Awesome! I will set up the meetup group by the end of the week. There is one final thing I need to confirm on the Dagger side before we create the first event, so I need one more week before we can set up the event. However, we can start to promote the group it's self as soon as I have the meetup.com page.

when you create the Meetup group for Istanbul, am I allowed to create events by choosing the subject by myself , of course with your approval or would you tell me that we should talk about this and you'll create an event for it?

[peak plume]

Our goal is to allow meetup organizer to create the events and organize the content on their own like the Docker meetups. However, we'd love to be a part of the first few, so that is just the small logistical part I am confirming right now.

Once I get this confirmed, I will add you as co-organizer.
