(You can select English or Spanish as the closed captions for this talk.)
Events like EmacsConf are a great place to meet Emacs users around the
world. You get to learn about new ideas, workflows, packages, and make
new friends as well :) What if I tell you that you can meet fellow Emacs
users more frequently, that too in your region/time zone? Yes, meetup
groups!
In this talk, I will help you explore Emacs meetup groups of your
interest. And cover how to attend meetups, how to stay updated with all
the Emacs related events, and more.
Organizing a meetup and setting up a platform for others is even more
fun! I will cover how to easily get started with organizing meetup
events as well.
Outline:
- Why meetups?
- How to find nearby groups?
- Staying updated with events
- Organizing meetups
- My learnings from organizing meetup events
