OK, so a while ago it come up in conversation on here that there’s several London-based people using various Roots tools and posting up on Roots Discourse.
Anyone up for a mini-meetup/drink?
Always good to share ideas and meet like-minded people. I’m the Head of Digital here at the studio I work for and we occasionally use freelancers and it would be great to use people who work with Roots tools, specifically Sage.
Anyone ever done a pecha kucha presentation? We could make a small “powered by” event and use that format to get to know us better in those 6.40 seconds presentation formats for people who would like to do it (we should limit them to 7-8 people though)
I’m from Notts though but may come down if the dates fit etc.
Alright, well that probably enough interest to get something off the ground. I’m thinking mid-end of Jan so everyone has enough notice to make arrangements? How does that sound?
I would love to make a meetup in London! I will be in the UK from the 25th - the 29th, and it would be awesome to meet up and hang out. FeelingRESTfull is on the 28th, but any other time is good with me. I probably can’t attend an all-day thing (the girlfriend and I are treating this as a personal holiday as well), but would at least like to grab a beer.
You guys let me know if those dates might work and I’ll try to be there!
@doug - our first day there is the 25th, so I think the 27th would be better for me, but I’m sure I could make either of those would work, especially if it’s just a beer. If we’re going to do presentations (I would be happy to give an angular + sage one) then the 27th would work better.
Meeting up for some evening beers somewhere central and assessable makes sense. 27th sounds great to me. As mentioned, I’m happy to arrange a location once we’ve got a ballpark idea of numbers. I’d also be happy to host here at our studio and could provide drinks. If we were to do some short intros/ presentations, we have a screen here. We’re based right next to Old Street station, near Shoreditch. Some great bars around for those interested in making it a later one
