Ask YC: Meetup for UK based hackers
14 comments
I'm out of the UK until the new year but after that I would love to meet up to talk to entrepreneurs and ideally lisp hackers.
I should be in the north, but due to the dearth of lisp hackers around I'll gladly travel for a little lisp based cognition.

cool, what do you hack in lisp? i enjoy how ruby and js also support cps/map+fold/bottom-up library design; do you do haskell too?
Sounds good to me. Would be great to meet some like minded hackers.
Don't forget barcamp london 3, next weekend, and geek dinners.
Sounds great - 27th and 30th are both ok with me.
Works great for me. See you then Ian!
i'd really really like to attend but am away that weekend
I'm in. :)
cool with me
15 people have emailed me so far. A mix of start-ups, hackers working on cool research projects, people working on stuff around their day jobs and others. The mix you'd expect at News.yc.
We're happy to host at our offices in East London (near Livepool St). We were part of the most recent yc class and got massive value from interacting with other teams at the dinners. We'd like to do something similar. If it goes well we'll make it a regular event.
It should be a good opportunity to share cool ideas, get some inspiration, get advice from other hackers, meet co-founders or meet start-ups who are hiring (we are, along with a few others).
7-830pm meet at Songkick hq in Shoreditch. We'll get a projector in case anyone wants to demo
830pm Curry at legendary local curryhouse (http://www.tayyabs.co.uk)
Proposed date: Friday 30th Nov.
Hit me at founders/at/songkick and let me know:
- if that date doesn't work when does
- if you've got a projector we could borrow!
I'll wait till next Wednesday (21st) to gauge numbers and then email with directions to our offices etc. I'll also post confirmed date on here. Hope that works.
