We have 2 post-class SF/Bay Area study group meetups for fastbook. Timing is optimized for after regular work hours in the Bay Area, folks from any time zone are welcome.
Weekly on Wednesdays 6-9PM PST Check back frequently as this is changing. Silent notebook work & 30 mins discussion. Prior to discussion, post topics in this thread: Bay Area Study group thread. For more info on the Tuesday group reach out to host Molly Beavers (@marii).
Biweekly on Thursdays 7-8:30PM PST Demos of class related work starting May 21st. You can find our meeting notes and topic schedule here . For info on the Thursday demos reach out to host Steef Van Winkel (@steef).
I have been organizing a Meetup for a year now, and hosts are cancelling on us. It may not be difficult to get a space for a Meetup. Rightfully due the the coronavirus.
@init_27 Would it be okay to continue the conversation from " USF Study will be virtual - ideas welcome" here? It seemed like we were planning a study group there, but managed to derail the thread a bit.
We can talk logistics about organizing a study group here is so.
I too am interested in the study group and couldn’t really make much out from the other thread. How does this work ? So do people meet once a week(virtually or in person) after the class and discuss the class and work on a project ? Does Jeremy host one too ?
I am here in San Francisco, and I am interested in joining a study group. sharing passion with others would be great, also it would be cool if it will be online.
Hi all - I’m based in SF - would love to join this too. Also, when it’s OK to meet in person again in a few months or so, would love to meet IRL then too.
But for the time being - would love to do join the study group virtually.
Also – wanted to call out that I have a full time job so would love to join evening /weekend study groups if anyone else is in a similar situation. Cheers
OK - sounds like at least some folks would like to meet during the evening. Shall we just start with a quick meeting this week? Just to introduce ourselves, debrief from the course today, see if we can find the right technology to meet through, etc.
E.g. I could meet say tomorrow and/or Thursday at 6:30pm PST – does this work for others too?
If so, are people comfortable using Google Meet/Hangouts? Sorry I’m a little biased towards Google products just because I work there, but also happy to do e.g. Skype or other solutions that people are comfortable with.
In case people are OK with Google Meet/Hangout; here is a link that we can use tomorrow/Thursday or whenever works for all.
I am looking to join the study group as well. I took fastai last year and have been working on projects for the past year, so I should be able to answer most questions.
Cool – if it’s helpful I can add an invite to people’s calendars. If interested, please send me a direct message (does that work here? ) with your email address and I’ll add you.
