Happy Wednesday everyone! As Pact nears 10 years old (in April!), we are thinking about a birthday party/event to help celebrate it in style, and it wouldn't be a party without you all. We are currently thinking of ideas, so if we have any party-planners in the house, or any ideas, feel free to give me a shout. To kick it off, I'm really keen to try and get some local meetup's arranged globally, we have so many little Pact communities in far-reaching places, so ill start off with a couple of questions. • Where are you from in the world? • Would you be keen to attend, help organise or organise a local event? we aren't necessarily looking for Pact experts, anyone with an interest in Pact would be welcome ( I didn't say anyone as I can imagine AirBnB style internet party take-overs where 500 ravers turn up 😅 )

I am in San Diego and interested in attending

Would be keen to participate in something at the birthplace of pact… ie. the DiUS Melbourne office! I’m sure they’d be accomodating 🙌🏻

I don’t think that’s the birthplace of pact, but I’d attend a Melbourne party all the time

Haha! I could be totally wrong. I just took a stab in the dark 😂 But also, keen to know a bit more of the history. I know Yousaf wrote a blog about it. Time to head there 😊

I think Pact was born at REA, but someone who was there would be better to say for sure. The history is in one of the readmes somewhere. Of course, DiUS put a lot of effort in. That’s where I picked it up

a bit of history

Melbourne and DiUS here :) always happy to host Meetups at our office, or other places (I'm also a GDG & RHoK organiser)
