| czajkowski | anyone in dublin tomorrow | 10:15 |
|---|---|---|
| czajkowski | Meetup tomorrow in Dublin learn about Riak!! http://meetu.ps/Jv9sK thanks to the folks at Basho and Engineyard | 10:15 |
| tdr112 | is it worth it | 11:35 |
| czajkowski | yeah very useful and you get to meet others which in turn can help you or your projects or you know networking | 11:39 |
| czajkowski | but the talks can be very good | 11:39 |
| tdr112 | I mean Riak, has anyone used it | 11:40 |
| czajkowski | oh yes | 11:40 |
| czajkowski | engine yard :) | 11:40 |
| tdr112 | not mad on the idea of them hosting so many meetups | 11:56 |
| czajkowski | oh? | 12:00 |
| czajkowski | how come? | 12:00 |
| tdr112 | I just think its not a good thing to have some many event hosted by a private company | 12:14 |
| czajkowski | hmm | 12:14 |
| czajkowski | I can see that but also know how hard it is to find independent venues that dont cost and arm and a leg | 12:15 |
| czajkowski | and you want a venue that's not a pub, has wifi, close to X it becomes a long list to sort out | 12:15 |
| tdr112 | yes but its not like group y is using them as a venue , its Engineyard running x meetup | 12:30 |
| czajkowski | true | 12:31 |
| czajkowski | but if noot them then who | 12:31 |
| czajkowski | at least talks are happening which tbh | 12:31 |
| czajkowski | is a good thing as that encourages discussion and mingling | 12:31 |
| czajkowski | good for business and for people who work | 12:31 |
| czajkowski | slight trade off I know | 12:31 |
| czajkowski | ideally it'd be in some neutral place, but that's not always possible. | 12:32 |
| tdr112 | aside from the not neutral place its the not neutral people running them , most meetups are being run by their staff | 12:34 |
| tdr112 | where is the community ownership | 12:34 |
| czajkowski | well bbasho are sponsoring it, the makers of riak at least in this instance | 12:35 |
| czajkowski | so the community here are engineyard who are users | 12:36 |
| czajkowski | I'm not saying it's perfect | 12:36 |
| czajkowski | but I prefer to see this than no talks | 12:36 |
| tdr112 | just good to be mindful | 12:37 |
| czajkowski | nods | 12:37 |
