Njengoba ngihamba emhlabeni wonke ngifuna izihlakaniphi zakwa-HW, ngiyajabula ukwabelana nawe engikutholile, mfundi othandekayo we-SolidSmack. Kulesi sihloko, ngikulethela imicimbi engcono kakhulu nezinhlangano ongazihlola endaweni yaseSan Francisco Bay. Kukhona okungaphezu, mhlawumbe, noma yikuphi, igama elithi “tech” kuhlangana no “isofthiwe“. Kodwa-ke, le mihlangano ehloliwe inamathuba aphezulu okuba ihanjelwe abantu bakho - inyama namazambane, izintambo kanye ne-CAD nama-drones ne-VR ne-IoT namarobhothi uhlobo lwabahlakaniphile.
Ngaphambilini, sabelana lapho ungathola khona ochwepheshe behadiwe endaweni yaseSeattle-Tacoma. Kusukela lokho kwashicilelwa, nami ngakuthola lokhu I-Seattle VR MeetUp okufanele futhi ifakwe kumhlahlandlela wokuthola we-Sea-Tac HW nerd. Kodwa indawo yaseBay ingenye indaba nayo kakhulu siyaqhubeka. Kulokhu, sizodinga uhlu olusemthethweni.
Bheka ividiyo engezansi ukuze uthole uhlolojikelele neziqeshana ezivela kunombolo 1, 2 kanye no-3 ohlwini.
1. I-SF Hardware Startup MeetUp
Ngenkathi eminye imicimbi ekulolu hlu izoba ngokungalandelani okuthile, lo mcimbi - the I-SF Hardware Startup Meetup empeleni is Inombolo 1.
Inombolo 1 yani?
O, angazi, ngokuthola izihlakaniphi ze-HW e-San Francisco, kanye nendawo yase-Bay ngokujwayelekile, kanye ne-United States, kanye NOMHLABA. Yiziphi izimo zami zokukala? Hhayi-ke kuzo zonke izindawo engiye ngahamba kuzona le ilokhu ingilethela Abaningi amakhasimende angaba khona okubonisana ngobunjiniyela bamehlo - ngokuqondile noma ngokudluliselwa kwabantu engihlangana nabo lapho. Kunjalo enye yezindawo ezinhle kakhulu elunguza ku izigaba zokuqala yenqwaba yamaphrojekthi wehadiwe, Futhi!
I-Vibe
Ngaphandle kokuba mkhulu, iyisixuku esinobungane kakhulu futhi esisebenzisanayo. Lokhu kungenzeka ngenxa yokuthi abantu abaningi emcimbini bazosukuma phambi kwamakhulu abantu abangabazi babatshele ngohlelo lwabo lwe-HW. Lokho kungase kube ukuzithoba, ikakhulukazi kumuntu ohlakaniphile we-HW. Futhi, le MeetUp imayelana neziqalo ze-HW, ngakho-ke umuzwa wemvelo wokusizana kanye nenethiwekhi usuvele ugxilile kwabaningi abakhona.
Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi esinye isizathu sokuthi kube namavayibhu amahle, akhiqizayo lapha kungenxa yokujabulisa nokukhuthazayo. Clarissa Redwine, kuze kube muva nje ube ngomunye wabahleli futhi ehola ama-MC. Ngethemba ukuthi umoya wakhe uzohlala kuleli qembu yize ekhushulelwe kulona I-Kickstarter futhi wathunjwa wayiswa oGwini oluseMpumalanga.
Ongakulindela
Kuzoba khona amakhulu yabantu, ngento eyodwa. Ngakho-ke, letha amakhadi ebhizinisi angaphezu kwamabili. Ngokuvamile kuba khona isethulo ekuqaleni ngomunye wabaxhasi bomcimbi. Ngemva kokuba izikhulumi eziyinhloko zenze into yazo, kuhlala kuba nengxenye emfushane ekugcineni lapho noma ubani ofuna ukukhombisa ukuthi usebenza ngani. Ngokuvamile bathola 120 imizuzwana yonke. Kwesinye isikhathi abantu basebenzisa lesi sikhathi ukubuza ngamathuba emisebenzi noma ukwazisa isixuku ngezinkonzo zabo (mina, ngenza lokho). Kusihlwa, ukudla neziphuzo kuvame ukutholakala (siyabonga abaxhasi!). Futhi uvamise ukuba nesikhathi ekugcineni sokuhlanganisa okuningi nokuxhumana.
Kuyamangaza njalo inani elikhulu labangakaze babekhona ku-MeetUp ngayinye. Lokho kwenza ukuthi kuhlale kungifanele ukuya kimi - ngisho nemicimbi emi-2 ilandelana. Uma udlula endaweni yase-Bay, noma uhlala lapho, ngincoma kakhulu ukuthi uhlole lokhu! Isixuku esipholile, 10/10, sizophuza futhi.
Amaphrojekthi aboniswe kuvidiyo
Isicabucabu serobhothi esesabekayo, "HEXA", kaVincross u-Eva Li abukisa ngaso singatholakala LAPHA.

(Isayithi lakhe linamanye amaphrojekthi amaningi amahle okufanele uwahlole, nawo!)
2. Ukwethulwa Kwesekethe - I-BBQ yaseBrazil
U-Holy Moley, uyathanda i-steak? Uyathanda I-Steak yamahhala wenza la Brazilian BBQ MAGIC!? Kuthiwani ngokusanda kwenziwa Ama-cocktails aseBrazil eyenziwe ngumuntu waseBrazil? Futhi kuthiwani nge-electronic HW? Futhi HW Nerds?
Uma lezi zihloko zikukitaza, qiniseka ukuthi uyadlula Ukwethulwa KwesifundaI-BBQ yaseBrazil yanyanga zonke e-Oakland. Sike savala indawo yabo phambilini lesi sihloko. Kodwa ubusuku be-BBQ bungenye ibhola elijabulisayo. Okokuqala nje, umphakathi Wokusungulwa Kwesekethe uyamukela, unobungane futhi uyasebenzisana, ngakho-ke uma umusha edolobheni, ungazizwa unamahloni ngokubonisa lokhu uwedwa. Uzozizwa wamukelekile. Futhi ukuxhumana ozokwenza nabanye ochwepheshe be-HW cishe kuzoba yigugu.
HW Nerd Breeds Joining Forces
Namuhla, le MeetUp ivamise ukuhlangana ne-Silicon Valley Robotics' “Bots 'n Beers” (okulandelayo kulolu hlu), njengoba bobabili basendaweni efanayo futhi benza imicimbi evamile noma kunjalo. Kulezo zikhathi, kungase kubizwe ngokuthi “I-Bots & BBQ”. Kusho ukuthi Ngisho Nabaningi Abantu Bakho Ozohlangana Nabo!
Inothi kumaNoms
Ngenza ukuxhumana okuhle ngobusuku engaya kubo futhi ngathola nabantu manje abazizwa njengabangane bakudala! Eqinisweni, noma ngaphandle kwalokho, bengizoya nje nge-Brazilian BBQ. Ngiyithanda kakhulu i-steak, futhi engikunambithe ngalobo busuku kwakungenye yenkomo eshiswe ngendlela emnandi kakhulu engake ngagingqa emhumeni wolimi lwami. AbakwaCaipirinha nabo bangokuhlangenwe nakho kubo. Lezi zivame ukwenziwa yi-CEO ye-Circuit Launch, u-Alex Dantas, futhi ngendlela, une-CEO wake wakwenzela i-cocktail? Ngingakutshela ngokuhlangenwe nakho ukuthi imininingwane ibenza banambithe kangcono.
Futhi ngishilo ukuthi kumahhala?!
LE LINK ukubheja kwakho okuhle kakhulu ukuthola izinhlelo zakamuva zokuthi lezi zizokwenzeka nini.
3. Amabhothi nobhiya – I-Silicon Valley Robotics
Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, i-Bots & Beer ivamise ukuhlanganiswa nobusuku be-Brazilian BBQ e-Circuit Launch, kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi le micimbi ingenzeka ngokuzimela.
I-SVR yawo wonke ama-Robotics Revelry
Yingakho kufanele uhlole leli khasi le-MeetUp uma uthanda amarobhothi futhi udlula eSilicon Valley. Umcimbi we-Bots & Beer ungomunye wama-shindigs anetimu I-Silicon Valley Robotics uyagqoka. Kuyo yonke le mibuthano, uzothola iqembu eligxilile lochwepheshe namarobhothi abathanda. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungubani: ufuna ukuhlangana nabanye abaningi besizwe sakho samarobhothi, noma ufuna ukufunda kwabanye abenzi bamarobhothi abachitha izimfihlo mayelana ne-dev yabo, noma ubonise amarobhothi akho, noma uthole isifundiswa samarobhothi ongasiqasha, ngeke ufune uphuthelwe lo mcimbi ojwayelekile!
Njengoba igama lisho, yebo, kukhona nobhiya! …ngaphandle uma kufundwa esikoleni samabanga aphezulu, lapho utshwala buvinjelwe khona, njengoba kwenzeka komunye wemicimbi engangiyihambele. Kuleso simo, umcimbi wawubizwa ngokuthi "Bots and Beverages". Ngakho-ke hlala ubheke ukuguqulwa kwesihloko.
4. Abesifazane Abasebenzisa Amarobhothi
Leli qembu ikhona ukuze ihlanganise abesifazane abasebenza noma abathanda ukusebenza kumarobhothi. Nabesilisa bamukelekile kulo mcimbi uma "seka umsebenzi wethu" futhi “simenywa ukuba sithamele imihlangano yethu njengezihambeli zamalungu esifazane noma ngemvume evela kubahleli”.
Kimina kubonakala sengathi leli qembu ngezinye izikhathi lisetshenziselwa ukuthola abesifazane ku-HW ukuze baqashe. Izinkampani ezisingatha le mibuthano zivame ukuqasha ngesikhathi zisingatha i-MeetUp. Mhlawumbe lokho kungukucabanga nje engikwenzayo kuhlanganiswe nokuqondana. Kodwa noma ngabe uyinkampani ephethe noma ohambele umcimbi, kuyindawo enhle ngempela yokuthola abesifazane abasebenza ngamarobhothi ukuze ubaqashe…noma uma kungenjalo ufunde futhi uxhumane nabo! Ngahlangana neqembu labesifazane abahlakaniphe kakhulu nabanolwazi oluphezulu finyelela kulwazi oluphezulu kumarobhothi kuleli qembu.
Ukuhlangana no-Lisa Winter (Squee!)
Lapho ngihamba, Lisa Winter, weRobotWars kanye Izimpi Udumo lwalukhuluma ngokukhuphuka kwakhe ekubeni yisihlabani kanye nezinselelo zobuchwepheshe abhekana nazo namanye amarobhothi awakha...njengalokho ngesinye isikhathi. irobhothi lakhe lashisa ibhilidi futhi izicishamlilo zeza zizosicisha. OH KODWA INGABE SONKE ASIKUBONA LOKU?
Kulungile, noma mhlawumbe thina nje esike sasebenza kumarobhothi kanye/noma ama-laser anamandla amakhulu bayawazi lobu buhlungu?
Mhlawumbe mina nje Lisa?
I-Inside-Look Tech Talks yizinkampani Zokusingatha
Le seshini engiyihambele ibiphethwe ngu I-FarmWise (osanda kuqashwa). Siphinde sathola ukuvakasha okumnandi kwemishini enzima abayakhayo. I-FarmWise idala imishini yokutshala i-monster irobhothi enombono womshini (intandokazi yami!) ukwenza ngokuzenzakalelayo eminye yemisebenzi eyisicefe, ebuhlungu kakhulu ekulimeni. Ngemva kokuvakasha, amanye amanenekazi (kanye namajenti ambalwa) futhi ngabaphonsa ngemibuzo mayelana ne-doohickey yabo emangalisayo kwaze kwaba yilapho siphelelwa isikhathi.
Okunye okubalulekile: bekukhona utshwala bamahhala nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezimnandi. Anginaso isiqiniseko sokuthi lokhu kuyenzeka yini kuwo wonke umcimbi… kodwa ibha (ngokomfanekiso) isethiwe, uma kungenjalo.
