The intention of this project is to create somewhere central and shared where we can keep a list of technical meetups etc that happen in Manchester to make them more discoverable. The plan is that a group of people will be responsible for maintaining this project, and new meetups / alterations can be made by Pull Request to the JSON data.
There are some great lists out there already. There is Andrew Disley’s Mandigest page with a massive list of people and events, Gemma Cameron’s useful Google Calendar on her website, the North West Digital Communities site with a Google Calendar, Manchester Digital, the paid for independant trade association, SpaceportX events listing and the Madlab events listing, but they are all associated with either an individual or a business. If this takes off it will be owned by an abstract community, with no names on it.
There are a few issues in to show what needs doing. If you’d like to help then open a pull request (what’s that?) to discuss your changes.
If you are looking for the website it is a GitHub Pages site here: http://manchester-tech-events.github.io/
