-
Everyone who organizes the Scala community in any regard
-
All that would like to become one
At the Scala Center we are getting a lot of calls with the following questions:
-
My conference is in (for example) May, should I postpone it?
-
Should we move our meetups online, does it defeat the purpose?
-
We would like to have an online conference, where do I start?
-
We postponed the conference to October, but there are now 5 others, how do we not step on each other’s toes? Will these measures even be done by October…
-
And so forth
We don’t have the answers, but we can find out together, so here’s what we can propose:
Let’s set up an Online Scala Organizers Summit to share our concerns and experiences and figure out what is the best path forward.
If you would like to participate, please fill in these 2 things:
I’ve chosen timeslot 3 PM - 5 PM as it can fit both PTS (6 AM - 8 AM) and JST (11 PM - 1 AM) - not ideal, but worked so far when I had such calls.
We are committed to helping out on this matter to the best of our capacities, more updates coming soon.
Please comment below for more suggestions.
