The Noisebridge hacker space at 272 Capp in SF could be a good venue. I'm not active in that community but they seem to be open to hosting events like this. It's close to a BART station and a parking garage. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Hosting_an_Event

Hosting a Reactjs meetup this Wednsesday 9/21 if anyone is interested in frontend. We had a great meetup last month with about 80 people in person!

I have been looking for good meetup groups in the Bay Area for a few months and finally got inspired by you to solve my own problem.

I have created a Hacker News Meetup for Bay Area: https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-zxkdpjmb/

It looks like enough people are interested in different parts of the Bay Area that we can alternate meetups in SF and in South Bay/Peninsula.

If anyone will like to help out or can donate space to meetup, please email me - my profile here has my contact details.

If someone created an event "Hacker News Meetup" on meetup.com, I'd go.

The problem is someone has to pay. It's not free.

Such a shame this is a forum for paupers.

I can pay. It's pennies. But I don't because I'd rather you pay.

You and everyone else has the same opinion, thus nobody pays.

Anyone still hanging around SF or did everyone flee during the pandemic?

That was a vocal minority

Yep, still a decent place to hire employees.

Still in the east bay. Plenty of humans still here

I’d be down for a spot between Menlo Park and SJ. Don’t really wanna go all the way to SF

Put me down for the peninsula chapter!

Can we do one that's reachable by Caltrain? Would be amazing to make it from Stanford

Or it could be held at Stanford…

I’d come to one in SF or the East Bay!

Sure if it's in the south bay

+1 for SF or Peninsula

Let's do this!

++ for southbay
