November 19 Meetup

Hi everybody, Dusty's lined-up Larry Hastings the release manager of Python 3.5 as a speaker. I'm working on a venue for the meetup.

[It'd be great to follow-up Avilay's talk on his coding camp for girls with another story on mentorship and diversity. I welcome offers to speak.] UPDATE

Confirmed, Alex McConnehey is joining us. Update, Dusty and I have invited Alex McConnehey (http://www.geekwire.com/2014/geek-week-alexandra-mcconnehey/) of SeeJaneFix to join us and share her experience as a woman entrepreneur with a business that employs all women to repair mobile devices.

Drizly joining Lagunitas as a beverage sponsor. Drizly has launched in Seattle to deliver your favorite beverages to your home. Check out their app.

Twilio coming on board to supply us with El Camion tacos. El Camion was rated as a US top 50 food truck.

A few things. Sorry I missed updating start time to 6. I did a walkthrough with our host at Google Aryan, but it's been hectic. If there's a huge problem, let me know. If there's a big enough problem I'll ask our gracious host if we can amend.

The lobby entrance is going through some work. Enter at the furthest east section of the Google office building. The building number is 601, and it's on 34th Street. This is the actual street with real car traffic. There's a dupe that's closer to the water.

Guides will escort members to the event space.

I rarely ask for anything from our community. I do want to request that all of you make an effort to invite women you may know interested in coding. Beginners are welcome. My thought is that if we can show women who have an interest in learning more about coding that there's a welcoming community ready to help support them, we might include more women in coding professions.

Bring a friend, approach people on the street, post on Craigslist, bring more women. We have beverages and great tacos to share. The speakers are awesome. Shout it out from the mountain tops so we make this the biggest turnout of all of meetings to date.
