[jhilden]

Our first meeting will be on Thursday September 24, 19:00, at Coworking Cologne http://coworkingcologne.de/space/

[jhilden]

I also added the meeting here: http://www.colognerb.de/events/refugees-meetup

[jhilden]

Address:

Coworking Cologne
An der Bottmühle 5

Looks like a number of interested people will be at the AWS Meetup at GrandCentrix tomorrow (Thursday) evening (http://www.meetup.com/de/aws-cologne/events/224141069/). For example @larsvegas

The only definitv participatns that I know of are @erdnusskeks and @sangyye: What would you think about changing our location to GrandCentrix? - for me it would definitely be closer to home ;) Would be nice if you could give notice until tomorrow (Thursday) 12:00

Of course the precondition would be that this is OK for GrandCentrix. @larsvegas could you check that? Or tell me who I could ask?

People who want to help, but won't be able to attend are @koos and @tatjanala. For them and other people in the same situation, please add yourself to the wiki page https://github.com/colognerb/refugees/wiki/List-of-potential-organizers-and-helpers, so we know how many we are and who wants to do what.

Hi Jakob,

changing the location is no problem.
But I would be very happy if we could start with the refugees meeting and
after that continue with the AWS meet-up - because of little Nora who will
join us. : ) Might that be possible?

Kind regards

I could imagine starting early (maybe 18:15/18:30) and doing a short 5 minute pitch of the project at the beginning of the AWS meetup (if that is OK @larsvegas?).

If you want we can continue with the refugess topic in parallel to the AWS meetup, if there is some sort of second room and little Nora is OK with it ;)
And I would hang around until after the meetup if there are more people that would be interested in helping.

[sangyye]

Hi @jhilden,

I also have no problem with the location change, not sure if I can make it on time. But I will try it. Don't know there was an AWS Meetup, Maybe also interesting. Thanks for notifying.

[larsvegas]

Hey @jhilden,
@erdnusskeks,
@sangyye!

No problem that you do a intro talk. But the Meeting starts at 1900. We won't start with talks before 1930.
See you all tomorrow! :)

[larsvegas]

Ah, please RSVP @ http://www.meetup.com/de/aws-cologne/events/224141069/ for statistical, drink and food reasons :)

[zakx]

Hey there, of course y'all are welcome @grandcentrix! Not sure if we can amend the food order on short notice, but if there's not enough for everybody we can still order some pizza etc.
See you tomorrow!

[erdnusskeks]

Great! We are looking forward to seeing you all today (19:00) @
Grandcentrix!

Thanks @zakx and we are not coming for the food, so don't worry about that ;)

See you at 19:00, that will give us 30 minutes before the meetup.

Changed accordingly:

@jhilden I found the coaching slides https://opentechschool.github.io/slides/presentations/coaching/ I think we should meet up a few days before with all coaches and show the slides and talk a little about our goal.

For the material, it seems good to start with http://guides.railsgirls.com/?
