Code for Sacramento Meetups
This is a code-free project repository for using GitHub issues to plan and manage our meetups. You can use Waffle cards (learn more) or native GitHub Issues.

Workflow
All meetups should use the following workflow:
- Assign responsible Core Team member
- Confirm location
- Recruit speaker(s) or develop 30-45 minutes of content
- Draft meetup title and description
- Post and announce on meetup.com one week in advance
- Market and promote event via email blasts (monthly), social media, announcements at other meetups, personalized outreach to stakeholders, etc.
- Create slide deck to structure meetup experience
- Set up space 30 minutes prior to event (and recruit help if necessary)
Congratulations, you've just facilitated an epic end-to-end meetup experience for our awesome community!
Rules of Thumb
- Beginning in 2016, we meet every Wednesday, 7p.m. at The Urban Hive by default
- Always welcome first-timers and go out of your way to make them feel part of the community
- We always need help organizing meetups, so please assign yourself liberally (if we share the workload, you should not have to manage more than one meetup per month)
- Please keep the meetup status regularly updated by checking off tasks (Hint: you can check the boxes in the Meetup Template) and using comments to share information and/or ask questions
