@richiardiandrea: lucky you guys! Vancouver community seems really active! How many people normally attend?

leontalbot22:07:58

With @marvin we're slowly starting one in montreal

richiardiandrea22:07:27

@leontalbot: we are active but not too many at the moment, more or less five always going

richiardiandrea22:07:02

but we are kind of constant and this is great to have people coming on board if they are interested

richiardiandrea22:07:17

we help with cider/emacs/spacemacs conf

richiardiandrea22:07:31

and start from zero if necessary

leontalbot22:07:53

@richiardiandrea: yeah ok. It is a long run work for enrolling people isn't it? So for a first Hands on lab meetup you suggest using directly emacs?

nightcode is built for new to clojure peeps if you haven't seen it.

richiardiandrea23:07:51

mmm...no 😄 well...it's tough...depends on the person. Usually we show the various options first and see the feedback, if you feel they are adventurous enough definitely yes but with a big warning...

richiardiandrea23:07:00

learn the two can be too much

richiardiandrea23:07:25

but if you do it then, well, it's a plain sail 😄 I personally learned both at the same time

leontalbot23:07:49

Yeah i guess i agree. Learn one thing at a time

leontalbot23:07:16

@richiardiandrea: Thanks for your feed-back

leontalbot23:07:51

Have an awesome meetup :-)

richiardiandrea23:07:29

no problem 😄 in our case we have hacknights because a meetup with presentations every week is not feasible, but the group is also small so basically we have "presentations" anyways because people share their findings
