Hey everyone,
I am new to the group but I’m interested in hosting monthly happy hours in Oakland or SF to talk about Humane Technology, Ethics, and Policy within the community. I wanted to reach out and see which if Oakland or SF made more sense and if anyone was interested in attending.
Thanks,
Evan

Great Idea.
Maybe we could do a rotating, one month in the east-bay, one month in SF type thing?
People will also come if they detect momentum and the event is announced; I recommend we don’t wait for more than a week before coming up with the schedule.

Great idea, @evanmceldowney! If you start this initiative then please notify me or another forum moderator, so we can update the table at [Eventful Campaign: Foster a vibrant meetup culture, organize exciting events](http://community.humanetech.com/t/eventful-campaign-foster-a-vibrant-meetup-culture-organize-exciting-events/3024)
We intend to give this campaign some real follow-up after the community reorganization (along the new [Vision of The Pyramids of Humane Technology](http://community.humanetech.com/t/be-a-builder-help-improve-wellbeing-freedom-and-society/3322)) has taken shape.

Hey All,
I will be hosting the first meeting on Tech Ethics in Oakland this Wednesday at Drake’s Dealership! This is a meetup to discuss the development of technology, ethics, and policy and their impact on the world. I am thinking this will be a reoccurring monthly meetup but I am hoping to discuss it with those that attend and see what they think. Spread the word and let me know if you can make it. @aschrijver @hmswaffles @sidnya I would love your feedback or participation 🙂

Looks like a great event, Evan, thanks for sharing! Can’t join I’m afraid… long trip from The Netherlands 🙂
You should record it on video and share the link here. That would be great!
