Northeast Scala Symposium
The Boston, Philadelphia, and New York Scala user groups have combined to organize this first ever Northeast Scala Symposium.
We've got lots of great speakers within our groups. At the Symposium we'll get to share them among the groups and meet Scala enthusiasts (and employers) across the region. If you're coming from out of town, see where others are staying and log your own lodging.
Registration opens at 9AM and the formal program will begin at 10AM sharp. Apart from the keynote talks by Daniel Spiewak and Jonas Bonér, the program consists of ten 30-minute talks selected by attendees and now listed at nescala.org. The minute-by minute agenda is on Google Calendar.
Your registration fee of $50 covers the headline speaker's travel offset, and food and beverages for the event.
After the symposium concludes you're invited to the very nearby Puck Fair for a beer-and-wine open bar from 7 to 9 provided by the Scala-loving folks at Foursquare.
Register by January 16 to receive a Northeast Scala Symposium T-shirt at the event.

Y'know, I remember going to Puck Fair for karaoke 10 years ago. Will it be karaoke night? :)

@Jamie Happy to chip in. We owe a lot to the scala community. Always looking for ways to give back.

Just noting here in case you didn't get the email, make sure you have all your votes for talks in @ nescala.org/vote before sunday at midnight. Also, no more `unvoting` because `unvoting` is for sissies!

Authentication now appears to be broken on the voting page. I'm getting redirected to localhost instead of nescala.org.
Posted January 15, 2011 at 2:43 PM -
Jim Powers
I too am getting the localhost:8080 redirect on the voting page
Posted January 15, 2011 at 3:42 PM -
harryh
FYI: If you replace "localhost:8080" with "nescala.org" everything will work fine. Def a bug in the auth flow, but that's how to work around it for now.

Dammit! That was totally my bad. Fixed and pushed the update to gae. Should be fixed now. Sorry about that :/

@Harry and Jorge: how do I RSVP for the hacking session on Saturday? I'm a lucky man - got clearance from my wife to stay until Sunday (who'll be 7 mos pregnant with our third by then)

Anyone planning to go out tomorrow night? I should be in NYC by 9pm. If no one has any ideas, I may just hit the East Village and Tompkins Square Park.
Posted February 16, 2011 at 12:56 PM -
Erik Engbrecht
@Jamie I don't know if anyone is planning anything but I think we should get a group together and get dinner and/or drinks.
I'm arriving in NYC ~4:30 and staying at the Pod hotel. What are other people's schedule?
Posted February 16, 2011 at 8:11 PM -
Alex Bugosh
@Erik, @Jamie I would be interested in participating/helping with a get together/dinner.
I'll also be getting to NYC around 4:30 and staying at the Pod hotel.
Posted February 16, 2011 at 8:38 PM -
Erik Engbrecht
@Alex - I think a lot of people are staying at the Pod hotel. It would probably be a good idea to get people to gather in the lounge or something maybe 7-ish and we can build up a group.
Posted February 16, 2011 at 9:08 PM -
Alex Bugosh
@Erik - I like that plan and will probably be hanging out in the lounge area after getting settled in. I have no ideas for places to go through... Any locals have any favorites?

@Alex @Erik @Jamie Count me in. I'm staying at the POD hotel too. I'll be tooling around the NYC google office earlier, but 7pm should be good.

I'll also be at the Pod Hotel. I expect to arrive between 7 and 8pm.

Coffee and pastries will be available at 9AM and until we run out. Don't stay out too late tonight or Daniel's talk will just plain kill you.

Maxime Lévesque
What's the best plan to get at the Meetup HQ from the POD Hotel ? I'm thinking that driving is probably a bad idea, how are others PODsters getting there ?
Posted February 17, 2011 at 11:30 PM -
Daniel Spiewak
Subway lines either 4 or 6 will take you practically to Meetup's doorstep.

I'm a block over from the pod - taking the 6 in tomorrow around 8/830. I'll be wearing a 3ft cone-like scala hat, if you want to hook up...

Brian ClapperEvent HostThis fantastic symposium left my head buzzing. (That's a good thing.) Thanks to everyone who attended; to the speakers (who were outstanding, to a man); to Nermin, for all his efforts (and the very cool T-shirt); and to Nathan, Doug and Meetup.com for hosting the event in their way-excellent NYC facilities.

Ry4an BraseAmazingly sharp attendee group. One often sees mini-tech-conferences with quite a few window shoppers, but this group was full of folks with genuine skills and experience.

Sean MerrittCasual and comfortable atmosphere, top notch speakers and talks. Possibly the best event for developers I have ever attended in the last 15 years.

John Peter SabiniKudoz to the organisers and Mettup and to the attendees. It was a great meetup. Learned how not to do things and DS's talk was great. I could use the insights in my work on clusters and multi-cores.

Chris LewisBack to back session awesomeness; an 80s action movie of an event! The event was well planned and organized, yet didn't sacrifice the input of participants. Being able to vote on the talks was really great, and the content of each was really high in quality. The environment made it easy and natural to mingle, which is something every conference should boast.

Roberto SalamaThanks! It was an excellent symposium, fantastic topics and speakers. Looking forward to the next one!

Next Meetup:
Thursday, Mar 08
near New York
The foursquare team would like to invite everyone to happy hour after the symposium on Friday. We've reserved the downstairs room at Puck Fair from 7-9pm and set up an open bar (beer & wine only I'm afraid, we're still a cash conserving startup!). I'm really excited about getting to spend a day hanging out with so many scale peeps coming in from all over. Looking forward to some great presentations during the day and some great chats over beers afterwards.
