A few people from Yahoo, etc take a WFH day and show up. But this is mainly for people who already work in SF and want to co-work.
If you have a 9-5 and are interested in a regular meetup after hours, please reply here or email me at carlos at archivd.
The important thing is having a regular space and someone(s) to commit to hosting the event. I can't commit to spend 14 hours in a cafe every wednesday.
I'm willing to host a South Bay one sometime but I have a day job so it'd have to be an evening or weekend. Email me if you're interested (email's in my profile).
Tangentially, anyone know of anything similar in the Tampa Bay area? It'd be nice to see comprehensive, geographically sorted meta-list of get-togethers ranging from this to 2600 meetings, for those of us outside Boston, NYC, and California.
NoiseBridge is up the street a bit, 16th instead of 21st. I keep meaning to visit them. OHH is nothing special -- it's just an excuse to meet other startup folks.
