It's rather empty but I'd like to get it going - please help: join and let's set a date and place!! I just got back from Seattle where the hacker news meetup is a big event - let's do the same in NYC!
Were you working in Seattle, or just on vacation? Two kids I graduated highschool with work at MSFT out there, curious how big of a HN meetup it is out there...been thinking about actually moving to the left coast within the next few years, never been there but would like to be. I'm currently working on a health IT startup about 30 mins outside of NYC, it's just me and 2 others, but I'm the only technical guy...looking to find some other technical people who want to solve tough problems in health IT that's why I'm looking to start attending some meetups in the city...is anyone else here interested, or currently working in health IT?
Hi there - yes I was out in Seattle for two accelerators actually - Microsoft Accelerator for Kinect powered by TechStars ( http://kinectaccelerator.com ) and Fledge - a conscious company incubator ( http://fledge.co ).
The Seattle hacker news meetup - which I've gone to at least once - maybe twice - seemed massive --- like 200+ people show up... I'd say its kind of an anchor of the tech community out there - kind of like the NY Tech meetup here.
Healthcare tech --- I know there's been a fair amount of people show up to my Kinect meetup group with that interest --- we should actually do an event on the topic - perhaps you'd like to help organize something? It's at http://meetup.com/volumetric . Meetups are a great way to find people to work with. Hackathons are even better.
My email is on my hacker news profile - feel free to get in touch to chat more about Seattle or healthcare tech. :)
