@reborg noticed that the trello board has been made private. if you need any more help I have a couple of hours to spare over the next few days

Sure thing. Can you ping me email in PM?

Nice team work! And thanks @jr0cket and collaborators in the past months for assembling the speaker list, that was a free gift! It is indeed a lovely Clojure community around here.

As a newcomer to this community, is this conference usually paid? And in what ballpark is the fee usually?

If you buy it a year in advance, Β£99. Closer to the date of the conf, ~Β£500.

Oh wow quite a difference...

Hmm... there's a link to EventBrite on the website now and it says Free πŸ€”

Yes, the prices there were for ClojureX. This is re:Clojure. It’s a new conf, new price πŸ™‚

new price == free

Excellent πŸ˜„ I've registered.

The cost of SkillsMatter Clojure Exchange conference was Β£150 plus 20% VAT for the first 50 tickets. Then prices went up in regular increments with a final cost of Β£650 plus 20% VAT. re:Clojure is a different conference organised by different people in the space of about a week. All SkillsMatter conferences are unofficially cancelled as the company has gone into financial administration.

Yes, totally what John has said. re:Clojure is not related at all to ClojureX. It's a different conference, different venue, different organisers - although (I hope!) with the same great spirit, enthuasiasm and love of Clojure! πŸ™‚

Thankfully we've had very kind people jump in to lend their support (Sponsors, volunteers) to keep the flame of Clojure burning bright! πŸ™‚

If there's anything I could help with, please let me know πŸ™‚ My Clojure experience isn't extensive (my main language is Java) but if there's any way I can still be useful, I'd be happy to hear it out.

@tiago844 Thanks for that very kind offer! Is there anything you can think of that may be of help to the conference? Doesn't have to be speaking/presenting πŸ™‚

I think it shows the community spirit is very much alive and well in London and is thriving and growing!

The hope is that this won't be a London-centric conference, but will move from city to city

or at least be rooted in London, but offshoots elsewhere.

slowly slowly

(first (repeat :conf)) but we'll hopefully raise the repeat expression then πŸ˜„

Well done guys for getting this turned around so quickly, awesome stuff! I see on the eventbrite site that there's only 10 tickets left! How many registered so far?

Yes, we are recording it
