Hey, I'd love to come, but I'm afraid I have other stuff going on. Hopefully I can make the next one.

CodingFreak · February 19 2013

I wish I could come, but I have a class at that time :/

Mahmoudz · February 19 2013

I will try to be there :)

khodor · February 19 2013

Hey! I'll try my best to be there on time, but just in case, is it ok coming late? maybe attending the later part of the talks.

arithma · February 19 2013

An interesting lineup!
Can you guys make sure the thing gets uploaded online?

samer · February 19 2013

@khodor: it's fine if you come late.
@arithma: we'll be recording directly from the soundboard and use a decent camera. The plan is to release the material online under Creative Commons.

Truepeace · February 19 2013

Hi, nice event! But it is from 7h30 to what? And, if I am a true newbie (not a coder or programmer) but really interested in it, would I benefit from coming? Btw I m 16. Thank you.

Odaym · February 19 2013

Thanks, will be there at 8, almost

Awesome. Looking forward to watching it.

Kassem · February 19 2013

Anything other than the weekend wouldn't work for me. It's a shame I'll have to miss that, I was really looking forward to it. But I'll definitely make sure I watch it once it gets online.

And by the way, maybe next time I could give a talk about building scalable web applications through messaging and queuing technologies.

samer · February 19 2013

@Kassem: make sure to write about it in this topic so we can keep track of things: http://lebgeeks.com/forums/viewtopic.ph … 31#p117431

AltCity doesn't have its own parking. You'll have to park the car in one of the paid parkings near Hamra main street.

saeidw · February 22 2013

Hey samer, five of my colleagues have expressed their interest in attending the talks, can we consider this an RSVP-by-proxy?
