Geek Dinner a Success
DevUtah’s recent Geek Dinner was successful. The food was good but may have been a little too sparse for a guy who had missed lunch. It was good to meet some of the people who volunteered to help out though. We’ve got a lot to do, but I think we have the momentum to make things happen.
I was particularly happy to hear Stuart Jansen and others say that DevUtah needs a calendar for tech events in Utah. I’ve spent a lot of time in the past posting a myriad of user groups’ announcements to uvlug.org, but it can be really time consuming. Hopefully with DevUtah we’ll have an easy way for everyone to post events to a joint calendar so we can have more cross pollination between user groups, solo-nerds, and business folks.
Geek dinners are just one way that DevUtah is is trying to create a culture of collaboration in Utah. I think these events will be positive force for Utah business, especially in the tech sector. I hope everyone is making some good contacts, and I hope that some of those will be foundations for successful ventures in Utah.
