Great meetup today.
We have missed  Speedy, Ben, Hadrian, Permie and davidpbrown. Apologies if I missed somebody.
It would really be great to have all of you guys present next time.

Aloha  :)

[edilliam]

Great, see you guys tomorrow. Aloha, I owe you some beers  :D

[santaclause102]

Do you prefer to put this on meetup.com or keep it small? How have you handled that in that past?

Hi delulo  :)

We haven't used meetup.com before, but it would be great to start using it. Count me in for tomorrow as well. I would like to propose meeting place for tomorrow: BrewDog Camden, 113 Bayham Street, Camden Town London, NW1 0AG,  https://www.brewdog.com/bars/uk/camden
I am flexible if anybody else has different proposal.

Aloha

Perfect! Lets do  BrewDog Camden is no one is for something else. 3 PM! See you all. Anyone with a meetup account should feel free to put this on meetup and ! I don't have a meetup account.

Not sure if this London meetup is still going ahead, in any event, i can no longer make it as i have to work over the weekend...

I'd love to meet up at some point though!!

[edilliam]

Great! We are well overdue a meetup, last one was in January, count me in.

[hadrian]

I'm still trying to work out what I can manage next weekend. Please don't put much weighting on my answers in the poll, because I may not be able to make it at all. :'( :'( :'( :'(
I've ticked the options where there is a possibility of me getting there (although I'd probably be a bit late if it's 3 p.m. on the Saturday).

Overall I think it best if others decide, and I see if I can fit in...

[santaclause102]

Let me know if I should change the poll in any way!

[Ben Mason]

Well part of me thinks sat would be better as sun is often part of heading home ;)

[santaclause102]

Whao great response :)

I will arrive on Wednesday, August the 5th. Not sure how long I will stay, either till the 10th or till the 16th of August.

8/9 seems good. Maybe the 9th - I would guess more people can on a sunday?

[Ben Mason]

I'm up for a London meet up! Would love to put some faces to names! There is a possibility I could be in London on 8/9th August.

[Permie]

I ll be in london for a little less than two weeks at the beginning of Ausgust. Anyone in for a meetup? :)

There's a slight possibility that I could get to London...
I'll try to figure something out, because I'd like to meet up.
Anyone else?

delulo - if you could keep this up-to-date when you can give more details that'd be good

I could possibly do the 8th or 9th (next weekend)

I can help advertise your meetup to increase attendance. Please PM me if you are still intend to start a meetup.

(That's what my delegate funds are for)

[mf-tzo]

I think I stayed at bitcoin expo for max 30 min...Nothing interesting to hear there...

But it was a great pleasure to meet the other bitshares guys. Edilian, Davidbrown, Speedy and last but definitely not least Aloha are really GREAT guys . We went for a coffee and we had a good chat. It was very nice to put the faces behind the forum and I was very happy that we have so nice members in our community! Looking forward for a future meeting and I hope to meet other members of our forum as well. Anyone ever coming to Greece give me a shout.. :)

[hadrian]

I hope you all had a good time.

"Well jel"

[hadrian]

 :'(
It is with upset that I say I'm unlikely to make it there tomorrow.
It's a shame because it would've been great to meet you all. I don't know anyone who knows about Bitcoin, let alone BitShares!
I hope you all enjoy it...

[vegolino]

I will try to be there for 10am it should be interesting speech, but I am not sure if I will be able to wake up that early on Saturday  :).
Any ideas what time rest of you guys are planing to come?

[vegolino]

Saturday looks great  :)

[edilliam]

Agenda is up: http://bitcoinexpo2015.com/agenda/

I'm about to PM all you guys with my details. If anyone else is coming along, post here or just send me a PM and I'll send you my details too.

[vegolino]

I'd like to come along to meet you all. I'm not sure yet whether or not I'll be able to make it though. :-\

The website is sparse on information - not sure what to expect from this...

Aloha hadrian  :),

It would be great if you could make it. Not sure what to expect from expo, but if it turns out to be boring then we can use this time to talk about Bithsares and educate those who are willing to listen.

Hope you will be able to make it  :)

[mdj]

I'll also be at the expo :)

[edilliam]

[mf-tzo]

14.00 should be fine for me as well. see u guys there.. :)

[vegolino]

I've just spoken to the organisers, they are still working out the agenda, but they did give me info on the expo running times which are: 0900 - 1800 both days.

Thank you Ed for the info  :).
I would like to propose to meetup around 14:00 on Saturday. Hopefully this should suit everybody, but if not please propose time that suits you.
Aloha  :)

[davidpbrown]

Awesome! Our little London community is growing  :D

It's taking place in a school close to Old Street Station www.google.co.uk/maps/place/London+EC2A+4SH

They haven't posted any information on times or schedule yet. I'll give them a ring tomorrow and try and find out.

[vegolino]

Aloha to all  :),

This weekend (24/25) is going to be Bitcoin Expo 2015. Some of us have been talking about visiting it. I think so far we have edilliam, speedy and myself. If anybody else is planing to come it would be great if you can post it here please. I think entrance is free if you register online. http://bitcoinexpo2015.com

edilliam - confirmed coming Saturday and possibly Sunday
myself - same as Ed
speedy - Saturday
mf-tzo - Saturday
davidpbrown - Saturday maybe Sunday
mdj - TBC

[vegolino]

Me too, just let us know which day suits you  :)

[edilliam]

Yes, I can make any of those days. Let me know which day you decide on.

[R2]

Anyone up for meeting up between the 8th-10th October in London?
I'm heading to the IPEXPO for a day, and would be up for shooting the shit about bitshares over a pint.

Edit:
There's also a docker meetup http://www.meetup.com/Docker-London/events/204409602/ on the 8th.

[edilliam]

Ooops, forgot to update this thread for anyone keeping an eye on it to see how we got on. I am pleased to report that myself, aloha and trader where able to meetup on Sat 20th. I didn't end up recording anything in the end unfortunately though. It didn't seem appropriate, we were in a noisy bar and also because it was the first London BitShares meetup it was more speculating on our future as a (hopefully) growing group rather than any official announcements. I will probably be setting up a group for us on meetup.com some time in the future. However, the feeling among the three of us was that there was little point of doing this at the moment because we are still so small and also because whilst our understanding of BitShares is growing each day, we are not yet confident that we will be able to best represent BitShares in London to people outside the community until our knowledge grows a little more.

Myself and Aloha also went along to the Coinscrum meetup in London last Tuesday which is a meetup for people new to Bitcoin. We are starting to make ourselves known among the wider crypto community in London, specifically the organizers of these types of events. This is because, whilst we also have an interest in the wider crypto community ourselves, the people that attend and run these events are tomorrows BitShares fanboys and potential future members and even organizers of our London BitShares community too.

With this in mind, I'm heading to Vitalik's Ethereum Talk on Oct 3rd http://www.meetup.com/ethereum/events/201711162/  If anyone is in London and interested in coming along too, sign up quickly as there are only a few slots left. We can also make the after party an unofficial London BitShares meetup.  :D

[speedy]

Just to confirm, Ill be there.

[vegolino]

At the moment only three of us  :)

[edilliam]

Anyone else coming tomorrow? Three of us so far I think.

[vegolino]

Hopefully BitShares will go up and we can both enjoy sunshine and sea again  :).

aloha  :)

[mf-tzo]

Unfortunately no..I no longer live in the UK... I did my masters degree there, worked for 5 years and then i came back home, Greece, because I wanted to enjoy a life in the sun and the sea away from London's stress...

and what a great choice... I came back, financial crisis, Greece defaults on its debt, my job here is crap compared to what i was doing in London, bills are mounting and the sun and the sea don't feel that nice as they used to be...

We could meet up this Saturday 20/09/2014 around 1pm around the centre somewhere. If date and time suits you guys please let me know so we can  decide together about the place.

aloha  :)

Count me in. Piccadilly is good for me too, anywhere central really. For recording, I can bring my field mic (Zoom H4n). But, if anyone has any problems with being recorded we don't have to and of course I can edit out any personal details, banter, shady business proposals etc...  :D

Won't be able to meet up until november/december time.
It'd be cool if an informal beyond bitcoin was recorded for those who couldnt attend to hear your thoughts on the future of bitshares?

[cass]

nice to see new progress on this :) go for it  +5%

[speedy]

That time is good for me. How about we meet at Piccadilly Circus? There are some great pubs there.

Hi Trader,

Thanks for your reply. At the moment you are the first one to reply  :). I will contact you as soon as we get some more interest. I will be attending Ethereum meetup in London next week and hopefully find some more people who are interested in Bitshares.

Kind Regards
Harry

Id like to meet other people who would be interested in working on Bitshares related websites/projects.
