YulDev, connecting with other developers
Montreal's Developers, would you like to have more occasions to network with your peers, no matter which technology they are using? If it's the case, YulDev is for you: a new monthly meetup where you can network with developers, and talk about whatever you like. The simplicity of just discussing code (or anything else) with a drink (juice, coffee, beer, glass of wine...) and other developers.
We are lucky in Montreal: there are many user groups for developers! Most of them have one point in common: they often focus on one technology or a group of related ones, and the primary goal is to learn from a speaker. Like you, I have much interest when it comes to technology, but I also have limited time in a week. Therefore, I cannot attends all the user groups or events I would like too, and I feel I'm missing opportunity to meet new amazing developers. With this in mind, I created YulDev, a Montreal style (French & English) user group or I should say, networking group as there will be no presentation (maybe greetings from your host in the beginning, but nothing else). In a 6@8 formula, the goal of this monthly event is to mingle, talk with people you know, and of course, meet new one. You never know what will happen next: new job, new friend, possible customer, a startup idea, interest in a new language, discovering a new user group you did not know about, and of course, an amazing evening with great developers.
So don't wait, join the group, share about it with your co-workers, and RSVP for our first meetup in May. Don't underestimate the power of networking in our industry!
P.S.: If you are the lead of a group for developers in Montreal or a media, and would like to promote YulDev, please let me know. If you are a company, and would like to sponsor the group, let's talk about it (more information soon about our needs).
