InstructureCon Admin Meet-up

[sbeck1]

Are there any meet-ups currently setup for admins at InstructureCon 2017?

 @sbeck1 ‌, I haven't heard of one, but it's a great idea! I'd be in!

[sbeck1]

 @kona ‌, maybe I should've posted this in the InstructureCon space also. Should we plan something? I've learned so much from you over the last year, I would love the opportunity to meet you F2F.

Thanks! That's one of the reasons I love the Community! There are so many amazing people who participate and I feel like I learn something (if not lots of things) new every day!

I double-checked and yes, lets move this over to https://community.canvaslms.com/community/instcon/2017?sr=search&searchId=352a93da-8c4b-4810-994f-9e...‌ and then share it back with the https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/admins?sr=search&searchId=8cc11c99-262b-4361-a312-e71cadc8903...‌ group!

I'm totally excited by the idea of getting to meet other admins at ICon!

Hack Night's a great way to meet other developers--perhaps we can fit into that event by having an Admin table or room?

Also, can we change the name of this discussion to include the word "admin"?

Thanks!

dgrobani, great idea about a table/area for admins during hack night! And I agree and will request for someone to add "Admin" to the title of this discussion!

 @kona ‌ and dgrobani‌, I just heard back from the InstructureCon coordinators. There won't be a reservation system for tables at the hack night this year.

Anyone up for meeting up during Game Night? Other suggestions?

[kona]

Find a corner during hack night and tweet it out?

[dgrobani]

Thanks for the info, Shandy!

Though I'm not big on Game Night and wouldn't mind meeting with admins at that time instead, I imagine others wouldn't want to miss it. The advantage of meeting at Hack Night might be that we could wind up having a good mix of technically-oriented folks (admins and developers) all in one place at the same time.

[sbeck1]

Sounds like Hack Night will be the best. I'll try to post that night on this posting, as well as we can tweet it out. Can't wait! Thanks!

[dgrobani]

Thanks again, Shandy!

That's what I did last year for our open-source table: I made up a sign and tweeted it out during the day before hack night.

I would love to have an admin meetup! I didn't get to go last year because of my daughter's arrival.

[kona]

Too funny! Last year I was almost 9 months pregnant with my daughter during Instcon! This year we're bringing her (and our older daughter) along!

Canvas babies!  That is awesome!
