Hadn't realised #clojure is at 17K users . I thought we were like 10K

@vemv FWIW, about 1,700 members are considered active in an ongoing basis. I think that it would cost $9-11K per month to run this community on a paid plan (I can't remember how to find the definitive statement about "active for billing" -- other than, I guess, starting in on the upgrade process).

Wouldn't we qualify for a non-profit plan? https://slack.com/intl/en-sg/help/articles/204368833

I'll throw in $5

Zach Tellman (of elements of clojure fame) was on this podcast this week, talking about FP and attitudes towards programming: https://corecursive.com/042-zach-tellman-software-in-context/

I believe there was a strange loop talk on climate change a couple years back, does anyone recall that or have the link? Probably a key note, I'm trying to hunt it down.

that doesn't ring a bell to me without more info. was it at Software with a Mission or main conf?

I can recall a talk at Conj by George Kierstein

and there was one at Heart of Clojure I think?

George also did a talk at Strange Loop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BckaEH33flU

those are my best guesses for you

I remember George's Conj talk but she was talking about data and data set structure/integrity more than specifically climate change I think?

you bring me vague questions, I give you tangential answers :)
