[socal-piggies] Next meeting: Wed. Feb 22 @ spire.io offices

[Grig Gheorghiu]

Hello everybody,

Thanks to Danny Greenfeld, we are able to hold our meeting in
February. Danny invited over Craig Kairsterns and Kenneth Reitz from
Heroku, part of the Python team there.

Carlo Flores from spire.io offered to host the meeting at their
offices at 7257 Beverly Blvd #210, Los Angeles, CA 90036 (it's on
Beverly Blvd, just west of La Brea, between Alta Vista and
Poinsettia.)

The meeting will be on Wednesday Feb 22 at 7 PM.

We have 1 presenter so far, Craig Kairsterns from Heroku. Here's the
abstract of his talk:

"In recent years there's been rapid growth in application development
area. This is in large part due to trends such as better tools to
manage code and dependencies, external services to aid you, and due to
the elasticity of the cloud. At Heroku we have a fortunate experience
to interact with thousands of application developers and see their
patterns and trends as well as help influence these. We will walk
through some of the recent trends and emerging trends for the future
in application development. These trends will make it even easier to
scale up without significant overhead, further enable continuous
deployment, and improve the ease to onboard other developers into a
development team. Many of these current and emerging best practices
will be highlighted on Heroku with live demos, but broadly apply
outside the Heroku platform."

We are working on getting a second presenter.

Evite will sponsor the food and drinks.

Parking (from Carlo): "parking semi-tricky.  There's plenty of street
parking on Beverly and south of Oakwood (one block away).  There's
some gentleman running a parking lot across the street, though often
times he's not there.  Pretty typical LA parking."

I need to know how many people are going so we can buy appropriate
amounts of food, so please reply to me personally if you intend to go.

Thanks!

Grig
