THIS EVENT IS NO LONGER ACTIVE; THIS ACCOUNT IS NOT CHECKED. • Monthly event with talks on tech, community, and creativity served with donuts and friendliness.
Noelle Daley (@elnoelle) will take a look at quantified-self and self-help movements and the ways we track and measure our bodies and activities, and she’ll argue for a gentler, more compassionate approach to self-help—one defined by our own values, not someone else’s. ❤️🍩❗️
Ryan Kubik (@ryrykubes) will show us how he uses game development to explore old skills and learn new ones. If you ever wanted to make a game but didn’t know where to start, or think you don’t have the right set of skills, this talk might be just encouragement you need. 👾🍩❗️
Sandya Sankarram (@sandyaaaas) helped internationalize and localize a software tool into 16 locales. She’ll share with us an overview of that process and the tools and libraries that made it possible, as well as some insight and tips from the things her team learned. 🌏🍩❗️
