Bootstrap 8.3

Almost one year ago the group of Ruby on Rails enthusiast met in a strange place somewhere in the center of Warsaw. People had a different background, experience and one thing in common-the mindset. All shared the same ethusiasm for web development. That is how Bootstrap was born!

Bootstrap is a gathering of passionate hackers, software engineers who want to interact and discuss ideas, present new technologies and share their experience. It is also a meeting point for entrepreneurs and like-minded people interested in technology and start-ups.

Most of the meetings consist of a technical presentation and as well as a business one. The last meeting was an exception to the rule because the whole meetup was dedicated to “social lending”. We invited all major players on Polish market Sebastian Wojdyła-kokos.pl, Rafał Agnieszczak-finansowo.pl and Łukasz Banach-monetto.pl.

The next meetup will take place on Saturday (15 March 2008). There are two presentation on the agenda.

• Marcin Kaszyński will present Greasemonkey
• Maciej Jarzębowski and Mariusz Ciepły will tell the story of LiveChat Software SA before it was taken over by Gadu-Gadu S.A

After those two presentations there will be time for everybody to promote and test projects. It is new on Bootstrap. We call it Bootstrap Elevator Speech. Each of the participants will get 5 minutes to present his or her ideas for a new start-up. It is a great challenge for entrepreneurs. Imagine how hard it is to make an impression and deliver a convincing presentation in 5 minutes. Personally I think it is a great test of self-confidence. Good luck guys!

Come and enjoy an informal, hacking atmosphere, discuss your latest ideas and learn about trends in the web market. There’s no entry fee and all web enthusiast are welcome.
