Hey, let's do a San Francisco meetup this weekend!<p>How about 4pm, Sunday September 21, Ritual Coffee on Valencia Street?<p>If interested, ping me at yury@yury.name or <a href="http://twitter.com/yurylifshits" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/yurylifshits</a>
I got accepted but I've to travel a long way -- from India, is it worth it? I do have plans to set up a bunch of meetings pre and post event, though. (oh and how difficult is it to get a meeting scheduled with big names? I know it's a naive question but still...)
Facebook group for those interested in connecting:<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/286093088248929/286099334914971/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/286093088248929/286099334914...</a>
I'll be renting a car from SF. For folks wanting to carpool with me, sign up here with "techtivist". Others with a car, feel free to add yourself here as well. <a href="http://www.groupcarpool.com/t/97khv4" rel="nofollow">http://www.groupcarpool.com/t/97khv4</a> First come first serve. It should come to around $20 each (including gas and rental) per head, against $80-90 Uber ONE WAY! I'll be leaving from Richmond, but can pick up from anywhere within SF or a short diversion from 101.
Odd. I've been going for multiple years, and I got rejected this time. And just my luck that I already bought my plane ticket and booked an Airbnb.<p>That sucks.
Dumb question from an out-of-towner: Does it make sense to stay in a hotel somewhere in the Mountain View / Sunnyvale / Cupertino area and use Uber to get around? I'm not a fan of bay area traffic, so I'd prefer to Caltrain from the airport to a hotel and use Uber after that if it's feasible.
Got accepted, not sure whether to be excited or not. Could be one of those things where most everyone who applies gets accepted because most people don't end up coming. (anyone know numbers on that?) Pretty sure I will go...2000 miles isn't really that far...
How do people from other countries attend the event? Do they send invitations, so I can get visa and be there? I'm crazy enough to travel 6506 miles to feel that experience.
