If anyone knows the gentleman ("Johnny") who took over lead organizer duties for the meetup, please have him reach out to @wbucksoft; we hadn't heard from him prior to relinquishing admin control and would love to chat transition plans!
If you’re reading this, thank you for being a part of this community. I appreciate everyone who ever attended, spoke, shared beer & pizza with me, or helped the meetup in any way.
Wishing you all the best,
@wbucksoft
Hey Everyone!
As you may have noticed, this meetup has been lying dormant during the pandemic (understandable) but to be totally candid, it was becoming draining to put on prior to that.
One of the best things I’ve done in my career but for myself, & the other organizers, we feel the best thing at this point is to close up the shutters on the meetup.
We're very grateful to have our food and beverage provided tonight by @ObjectComputing, a wonderful company supporting @micronautfw, @grailsframework and @groovylang development, among many other things! Shout them out a thanks tonight!
HUGE UPS to @dalelotts , Alex Winter, and a few other org members for updating the Prize-O-Tron to angular latest (and meetup API latest)! You're once again able to select random winners from your event RSVPs for giveaways or prizes :)
Thanks so much!

No discounts planned the rest of this fall, but a reminder that we have:
- 4 free full courses https://t.co/ryF1B8KzvC
- 6 months free for students https://t.co/dd4ndBuH7Q
- 2-weeks free self-paced bootcamp videos https://t.co/u7oocqcXxb
TFW you spend the first hour of the meetup trying to get something to work https://t.co/wfkFWTaYqF OAuth2 so you can issue requests to the API, only to realize the API you want to use is not protected because your meetup is public...
Big shout outs to our repeat sponsor on Food and Beverage this month: @ObjectComputing!
If you're in need of Machine Learning, Blockchain or Grails/Micronaut helpers on your project, give them a shout (or come see @wbucksoft tonight and ask him how much he likes working there!)
Do note, we have heard the rumblings that some Meetup groups are getting their payment requirements changed to charge members to RSVP.
We have received no such notice but are staying alert for changes. Reach out if you see anything unusual!
🏕 We just launched our online bootcamp ...completely free!
Two weeks of project-based learning:

We're live! Youtube made us download real deal streaming software this time, so apologies if anything is weird (just let us know and we'll try to figure it out!)

We are still looking for a food and beverage sponsor for our upcoming September meetup!
If you're interested in marketing your company or job openings while supporting a local gathering of Angular minds, we'd love to talk :)
