Title: Would any of the delegates here sponsor me to organize a Meetup group?
Post by: merivercap on May 19, 2015, 08:41:02 am

I would like to organize a Meetup in the San Francisco Bay Area & Silicon Valley and would like to have the sponsorship of a delegate to fund organizer dues.  ($15/mo) 

I plan to organize an SF Bay Area BitShares Meetup once a month in SF and recruit another assistant organizer to hold one meetup a month in the Silicon Valley, the tech capital of the world.

Goals:
-Educate early adopters and developers to learn more about the Bitshares ecosystem.
-Help people build startups around the BitShares ecosystem
-Help recruit developer volunteers to help with core development (Create a West Coast Dev Team)
-Educate the general public about Bitshares.

Let me know.  I want to sign up and schedule a Meetup soon.  Thanks! 

BTW I want to make the Meetup self-sufficient eventually.....

Hey @merivercap. I have an unused meetup slot on meetup.com with the Bay Area's name on it. I can create it and add you as the organizer, just give me the word.

Perfect.  Thank you!  Description looks great! 

I was the first guy to sign up so feel free to add me as assistant organizer.  I'll schedule a meetup in SF for mid-June and start looking for a location.  Seems like we'll have a lot more clarity with the announcements by then.
