I maintain the list of offline Hacker News communities.[1]<p>I have one Japan group.[2] Is it you guys? Otherwise, I'd like to add your permanent page to the list.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/antontarasenko/hacker-news-groups" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/antontarasenko/hacker-news-groups</a>

I didn't think about a Hacker News meetup but it would be great to know other HN people in my area. I created a meetup right now for Milano, Italy. If you live there, check it out at <a href="https://www.meetup.com/Hacker-News-Milano" rel="nofollow">https://www.meetup.com/Hacker-News-Milano</a>
These meetups always attract of a wide range of people - from people hacking on unique and interesting projects, to founders/CEOs, to investors, to programmers and marketers.<p>If you're in Tokyo and interested in meeting more people in the technology space, it's a very friendly and welcoming group of people.
I used to host the SFHN group, but the numbers started dwindling. Would be down to toss another one up just to get hackers out meeting other hackers: <a href="https://www.meetup.com/sfhackdays/" rel="nofollow">https://www.meetup.com/sfhackdays/</a>
If anyone is in the UK and is not in London (the one HN specific event!) check out <a href="https://opentechcalendar.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">https://opentechcalendar.co.uk/</a> for local event Open Data listings. Not HN specific but pretty good :-)
I assume this is December? It should be on the title. I know it's mathematically the only month left, but it would be a much clearer title (especially if you read it, like me, on a Saturday morning, pre-caffeine :D).
Update: there is now a Hacker News Tokyo Slack community set up. There are currently over 140 people in there discussing business, technology, AI, machine learning, cryptocurrency, and various Japan related topics.<p>It's been really fun to watch this community come together in just the last few days!<p>If anyone is interested to check it out, you're very welcome.

We usually penalize event announcements as not intellectually interesting but since this thread is turning into something more general, I took off the penalty.
Didn't even realize this could be a thing! This inspired me to start a Boston chapter -> <a href="https://www.meetup.com/Hacker-News-Boston/" rel="nofollow">https://www.meetup.com/Hacker-News-Boston/</a>
