@channel - You may have received a direct message from me today with the past week's highlights in Slack. (if you didn't and want to, send me a DM)
I created this because I'd been hearing that one of the challenges was sifting through the messages to find the signal.
3 main things kept coming up when I messaged a bunch of members here previously:
- 1.
finding signal in slack amongst all the messages and posts (this accomplishes that - hopefully!)
- 2.
having IRL meetups (see below)
- 3.
more opportunities for members to meet other members (bi-monthly coffee talks)
I sent the message directly from me vs a bot because I wanted to hear your feedback directly (and reply 1:1). My goal is to constantly increase the value you receive here and hopefully this helps do it.
As discussed, we have in-person events pretty much monthly in many cities (NYC, SF, Boston as a starting point). Our next couple of events are happening at Unbound with Nick Z. and Smoke Signals (and many other sponsors like Evan D. of TitanX, who we will be doing more with here) in September and then in NYC and SF in October coinciding with Revolt (stay tuned as we finalize details.
Speaking to others like Amber A. (in LA) and Jorge S. (in Miami) about doing more in more cities. Stay tuned.
Thank you for the feedback that is helping power us in the direction to build more value.
Jared
