  • Don't forget about us in Refresh Austin! With just under 400 members here in town, and an average of 35 - 45 people attending our monthly meetings, we can get the word out to all sorts of geeks, many of whom would like to participate and/or help you build this.
  • heck ya! i can't believe i havent made it to a refresh meetup. no offense to silicon folks, but i think yall might be more like me. :)
  • We're all geeks, we just wear different stripes. I know a bunch of us love to learn about the other areas of geekdom.
  • I think its an awesome idea. The little bit I know about co-working and stuff like Jelly has come from you. It has helped spin the gears and also created a pool of contact's.

    I'm wondering if there should be a convergence of the linux/top gun/2600 guy.

    There might be some grants available for monetization.
  • Sign me up. I do love to talk about all my non-profit projects. Also I will volunteer if I can buy gloria a drink. I have been admiring her ever since she showed up to a CC salon wearing a barcamp shirt. ; -)

    P.S. You are the next iJustine but actually funny. That could be your tagline.

  • OMG haha @david

    grants?? really how. what is "linux/top gun/2600 guy."?? ..going to google
  • I meant guys....
    darn typo's allays kill me.

    Group of geeks roughly affiliated with geek Austin, Usually hang out at epoch coffee house.
  • I'm interested to see what comes out of all these talks. If the problem is primarily isolation and silos, I think the most exciting thing about a potential solution is ensuring that these silos don't reappear.

    Social networking, collaboration, so many fun ways to facilitate communication here.
  • We'll be your publishing arm for all the interviews. Haven't yet met people interested in financially sponsoring the blog, but people like video much better. So it might be easier for you.
  • w00t! that's awesome Bryan! i'm super excited. thanks man!
