Excellent idea Haikal, I will have to see if I can make it but I do hope to see you there. Assuming that the entities involved consent, this would be a great opportunity to start publishing relevant talks and slides featuring JanusGraph online. Personally I think the timing is quite good, is the date still flexible in case we can be more inclusive by moving it up or down a bit?

Hi everyone,

Susan and I are planning to organise a JanusGraph meetup in NYC, around 28th of February.

We think it would be a very good idea for teams from our contributors to present the work that they do with JanusGraph at this meetup and invite our users to collaborate as well.

I would like to start the discussion on this thread. We would love to hear your thoughts and whether or not you will be able to make it to the event! So let's discuss:

1) Interest in talking at the meetup, followed by a rough idea of a title of your talk (if you can already think of one, but not a must)

2) Date availability for the event.

3) Ideas on venues

4) Ideas on promoting the event to our user community.

Once we have a clear plan on the amount of content coming from our contributors, I think it would also be a very good idea to invite our users to speak as well if there is still space, what do you think?

I've also created a new meetup group: Open Source Graph Technologies, where we can host various meetups on open-source graphs around the world: https://www.meetup.com/graphs/

You can see there's already the first meetup for 28th of February set as a template. Title, description, place and date are still up for discussion! https://www.meetup.com/graphs/events/237100744/

Looking forward to hearing all your ideas, everyone!
