Re: Philly Emerging Tech Event Features Clojure Creator Rich Hickey, Twitter's Alex Payne, many others....


It is my understanding that the "ETE 2010/People Interested" list was
created on the philly.rb Google group last month with the idea that
people who added themselves would self-organize into groups of four
(to take advantage of the Philly Emerging Tech group rate) and deal
with settling accounts at philly.rb get-togethers in the course of the
month. As far as I know the philly.rb "People Interested" list was not
setup up with any additional logistical specifics in mind.
