Where and when should we meet in March? We don't have to meet at Hamilton at 7pm on a Sunday, like usual. We can mix it up. :smile:

i can proabbly attend and potentially convince a +1 to join if its the weekend of the 7/8 or 14/15

@Dan that's around when you're giving your talk at SCALE SCALE, right?

view this post on Zulip Adrian (Feb 14 2026 at 18:23):

seems like the 14/15 may work well if the goal is to wait till after SCALE

view this post on Zulip Adrian (Feb 14 2026 at 18:28):

wait i fucked up the dates

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin (Feb 14 2026 at 18:28):

Yeah, on the 14th I might need to drive my daughter to her flameworking class at 4 but my wife can probably do it. The 15th is open for me.

all good haha

Do we want to meet in Coolidge Corner, like usual, or mix it up? I was sort of thinking about Time Out.

view this post on Zulip Adrian (Feb 14 2026 at 18:38):

i can probably meet wherever. would definitely prefer places accessible via transit from like north cambridge but im interested enough that id be down to travel a little

view this post on Zulip Adrian (Feb 14 2026 at 19:17):

oh i do have a potential conflict that weekend, but it should only be one day so ill try and figure that out. if the meetups are like late evening it should be fine

view this post on Zulip Dan (Feb 15 2026 at 23:06):

Time Out is cool. I'd be up for it.

view this post on Zulip Dan (Feb 15 2026 at 23:07):

Here's my talk btw https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/23x/presentations/where-world-internet-box I didn't write this, I was sort of drafted into this.

very cool

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin (Feb 16 2026 at 20:58):

If we stick with Sunday night, like usual, it sounds like we're talking about March 8th or 15th. Does anyone have a preference? Lately we've been meeting at 7pm.

view this post on Zulip Adrian (Feb 16 2026 at 22:09):

march 8 doesnt have a potential conflict for me

view this post on Zulip Dan (Feb 16 2026 at 23:11):

Poll?

view this post on Zulip Dan (Feb 16 2026 at 23:12):

I'd have to vote for 15.

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin (Feb 16 2026 at 23:48):

How about Sunday, March 22? Does that work for everyone?

view this post on Zulip Adrian (Feb 17 2026 at 04:49):

i can probably do that, but wont be able to bring a +1 like i planned

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin (Feb 20 2026 at 20:32):

@Dan @Yamil Suarez @Pete @Dave Hanft et al. what works for you?

view this post on Zulip Dan (Feb 20 2026 at 23:18):

15, 22, 29

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin (Feb 21 2026 at 02:26):

Cool, thanks! Sounds like March 22 is winning :smile:

Sorry about your +1 @Adrian. Maybe next time!

view this post on Zulip Adrian (Feb 21 2026 at 05:26):

no worries!

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin (Feb 22 2026 at 21:54):

Hmm, now I have a conflict on March 22nd.

@Adrian are you saying March 15th is a conflict for you?

view this post on Zulip Adrian (Feb 22 2026 at 21:55):

it shouldnt be. i think the other thing i might be doing that day should be over by like 4-5 pm

view this post on Zulip Adrian (Feb 22 2026 at 21:56):

although i rechecked the dates and my +1 will also be leaving around that time too, so they prob still wont make it unless we do 3/8 or saturdays

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin (Feb 22 2026 at 22:06):

Gotcha. Well, March 8th doesn't work for @Dan

Lately we've been meeting at 7pm so you should have plenty of time to finish up your other thing.

That :thumbs_up: is all I need. :smile:

I updated the website with this:

However, I could be convinced to meet earlier.

view this post on Zulip Dan (Feb 23 2026 at 00:20):

Something came up that will affect my availability. I likely won't be able to make the 15th but I'm not sure exactly what the outcome will be. I'll find out in the next few days.

view this post on Zulip Philip Durbin (Feb 23 2026 at 02:07):

Ah, bummer. Well, I'm happy to change it. Just lemme know.

view this post on Zulip Dan (Feb 23 2026 at 02:40):

Sure. Well go with whichever has the most attendees in the end.

@Dave Hanft ok, great, we'll keep the Dave-friendly 7pm time, just in case you can make it. Fingers crossed! :fingers_crossed:

My situation is uncertain. I may be back in time.

Just a reminder that we're meeting on Sunday at 7pm at Time Out in the Fenway. Links to maps and such are here: https://bostonopen.dev

When we meet at a restaurant we're always asked how big of a table we need. Time Out is much more relaxed. Should be nice.

This is my RSVP yes. (to the 15th at Time Out.)
