Growing a Tech Community
summary
Claims rapid growth: 1,100 members in just over two years and 49 events run, using a rhythm of monthly evening talks plus two smaller hacker hours, recruiting speakers with slide review and lightning slots, and delegating organization to avoid burnout. Technical and product tactics include recording talks and posting record talks on YouTube, partnering with venues and sponsors for AV and space, feeding attendees with pizza and beer, and even shipping an open-source Ember Jeopardy game that actually gets used.
