After having spent the last seven years organizing technical talks at several meetups I have decided to step down and move on. It is an end of an era for me, but I am excited about what's next.
|
|
|
|
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my co-organizers, all of the speakers I hosted and all the attendees for supporting my efforts to help all of us learn from each other and be a community.
|

|
### What Meetup groups I am stepping down from
|
|
|
|
- SF Scala
|
|
- SF Java
|
|
- SF Elastic User Group
|
|
- Bay Area Nix/NixOS User Group
|
|
- SF Spark and Friends
|
|
- Bay Area Ai
|
|
- GraphQL By the Bay
|
|

|
|
|
|
Of course the above meetup groups will continue with my co-organizers moving it forward without me.
