Meet at the Pig: a Seattle events calendar for geeks, makers, hackers and worldchangers

Okay, so it’s a little embarrassing that it has taken us until the day before the inauguration to replace the post we put up the day before the election. But there’s some synchronicity in the timing, too. After all, the election was about hope and change, the inauguration will be about hope and change, and this post is about hope and change.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

The hope: We’re doing our best to keep the Google calendar up to date and we hope to continue doing that. Thanks to everyone who has been sending us event updates. Please keep ‘em coming. We can’t respond to every email, but we’ll post as many events as we can. We’d like the calendar to continue to be a useful resource for our fellow Seattle geeks.

The change: As far as keeping up with posting about events… well, both Justin and I are (clearly) having a hard time of that right now, and that’s likely going to continue in the near term. So, we’re very much open to new contributors coming on board. There’s no pay involved and very little glory, but if you’re interested in promoting a healthy and vibrant local technology community, we’d love to have your help. Even if you’re only interested in writing the occasional short post – a review of a recent event or a preview of something cool that people should know about – every little bit will help. Just send an email to sooie@meetatthepig.com to get the ball rolling.

Thanks for those of you who’ve continued to visit. We hope you’ve gotten some value out of Meet at the Pig, and we look forward to evolving the site in 2009.
