Gauging interest for a new regional conference

[nhessler]

I'm considering running a Conference either late this year or early next year and I'd like to get a gauge on interest. is there a good way to do that through this site?

Really just looking for a place to state it's a possibility and link to a google form or something that would allow me to get a sense of whether I could do it or not.

If this is something you'd rather not have happen here I totally understand, and I'm open to any advice/feedback you might have on how I could go about gauging interest for a Conference in Austin.

Do it! Consider following the lead of @cody-norman and announcing the conference with a signup page to start collecting email addresses.

Also contact me (firstname at rubycentral dot org) and let me know how we can help

@nhessler is this still something you are thinking about? If so, would you want to add it as a tentative event to the list with a date_precision: year?

[nhessler]

yes. 100%. I can likely even do the month.

[nhessler]

actually, let me get stuff together on this and I'll add it to the list once I have the site up. I was gonna put it up around Aug, but I see no reason to do it earlier.

See #1137, rubyevents/rubyevents#846, and rubyevents/rubyevents#848

[nhessler]

awesome! thanks. I kept meaning to reach out and ask about how to do that. and always thought of it when I was away from my desk and never while seated at my desk. 😅

No worries! I'm happy to see it coming to live, thanks for putting it on!
