Men hvilke sammenkomster er der egentlig ude i din by? Eller har du måske endda selv lyst til at sætte et op? Med Meetup kan du ved at indtaste dine interesser, få oplyst hvilke meetup-grupper, som findes i dit nærområde og hvornår de mødes næste gang. Tilmeld dig møder eller søg efter nye grupper med din Meetup-App, eller opret en ny meetup-gruppe i den web-baserede version, hvis der ikke er noget af det DU leder efter. På den måde har du altid en liste ved hånden fyldt med spændende events og helt sikkert også nogle spændende mennesker.

Based in London, Camilla writes about entrepreneurship and business for various magazines. Keep an eye out for her stories about entrepreneurial ongoings and London life.    I don?t own my own business ? yet. I probably won?t for at least another few years. But in the meantime I might as well spend as much time possible preparing myself, networking and most importantly have fun while at it. I’m always on the lookout for learning spaces and interesting gatherings (and luckily I’m surrounded by great girls who always know what links to send me). I have tried to pick three different types of events perfect for networking and/or learning new things and I feel pretty confident they?re all going to be quite entertaining. 1. Ben and Jerry’s (yes, the ice cream company) has recently issued a contest to find the best, young entrepreneurs in the world. Only one condition; your business idea needs to be green. With a deadline on April 15 you should get started now to send in your idea. So if you have a great idea for a green business, but don?t really know how to get started this could be a great opportunity. The five winners will get a cash prize to start the business and their very own spot on a tub of ice cream. I’m pretty confident that will get someone to notice you. I know I?m sending in an idea (but what it is I won?t tell?) 2. The second event takes place in London. I know there?s always an excuse to go to London. Beer, gingers and fashion. But the city is also a great place for entrepreneurial spirits to find inspiration and in May the yearly festival celebrating outstanding creative, technical and entrepreneurial talent of East London and Tech City will be held in Shoreditch. Surprisingly it?s called Digital Shoreditch. You can even submit proposals to host a talk, a showcase or workshop on one of the days at the festival. So if you have great ideas don?t hesitate to get going and get noticed ? and if not this is the ideal way to meet creative and interesting people. Go here to read more. 3. The last thing on my list is not an event as such; it?s more a series of events, within a long list of interests. After I moved to London I really missed all the evenings of (free!) events hosted by CBS or other communication organizations that I was a member of. But I was convinced that there had to be something similar in London. I found this website: www.meetup.com. It?s amazing. You can find a group of almost anything you like, and if it doesn?t exist you can start one yourself – that’s pretty cool. Check it out!

While Claus co-ordinated team discussion, with groups generating ideas about how Podio could help efforts to solve problems as large as disaster relief and climate change, Ingrid focused on the challenge of creating new work tools for industries that are less reciprocal to change.  She pointed out that many knowledge based workers could already be considered part of the Future of Work movement, but asked; how could these changes towards more social, collaborative and transparent ways of working be applied to more traditional industries?  See the highlights video above to hear Ingrid’s summary. On February 28th we will have our biggest Copenhagen Future of Work meetup yet!  With Anne Skare Nielsen from Future Navigator.

Helene Hagnere Podio Blog Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:35:50 +0100 http://casperfabricius.com/site/2012/01/24/my-first-week-with-sublime-text-2/ One dark evening in January around 30 geeks gathered at Podio for the monthly meetup in the Copenhagen Ruby Brigade. The only topic on the agenda was a grand showdown between code editors, but with such different editors as Emacs, Vim, Textmate 2, Chocolat, Sublime Text 2 and RubyMine in play, it was more than enough to cover an entire evening. At the time I thought Chocolat might be the next big thing, but after only two rather frustrating days I went back to Textmate. I still had to present Chocolat at the meetup, but wasn’t able to say many nice things about it. I also showed off a few features in the Textmate 2 alpha such as multiple carets (uuh), but as Jesper Christiansen was quick to show us, Sublime Text 2 could easily match these. During the meetup I started to realize that Sublime Text seemed to be everything many of us had hoped for in Textmate 2, but in software that was available today in a polished, fully functional version, not a just a rather buggy alpha preview. So I decided to dedicate last week to Sublime Text 2. I installed it Monday and purchased it Friday without looking back. And I’m still using it today. As a heavy user of Textmate for the past 6-7 years I felt right at home. ?+T brings up a file switcher that is slightly more clever and drastically faster than PeepOpen, and with that working I could start writing code straight away without feeling less productive than in Textmate. Speaking of the file switcher, I also really like that it instantly shows the file you highlight as a preview without actually opening it in a tab. This makes it easy to quickly browse around for the right file without opening a horde (a circus?) of tabs. Other things that has already increased my productivity is the split view and auto completion. Textmate must be the last decent editor on the planet not to have split view, and now that I’ve started using it view and stylesheet, model and test and so on, I can’t believe I’ve lived without this feature for so long. I’ve printed out some useful shortcuts for Sublime Text and taped them to the side of my monitor, and it pays off to learn the shortcuts for managing and switching split views and tabs. Auto completion may not be that much better than Textmate’s for a language such as Ruby, but the fact alone that it displays suggestions all the time helps me remember that I can save some typing by pressing tab. Of course Sublime Text 2 is not perfect out of the box, especially not when you are an old programmer that don’t want things to change too much too quickly. As friendly people where quick to point out to me on Twitter, the package manager is the first package you want to install, and the only one you want to install manually. It is also true that the default icon for Sublime Text does look a lot like the one for the Terminal, so I was quick to follow suit and replace it with a more distinctive one. Essential packages includes SublimeLinter, ZenCoding and the Soda Theme, but coming from Textmate I also liked Textmate ERb style blocks, even though it’s not exactly perfect. Notice how I don’t link to those packages, since you just have to enter the name in the package manager to install them. All settings are managed through text files, and while that did seemed a bit primitive to me when I just encountered it, I quickly realized that it makes perfect sense for developers to manage their settings like this – as long as it is not XML files! Some helpful settings include trim_trailing_white_space_on_save, ensure_newline_at_eof_on_save, file_exclude_patterns and folder_exclude_patterns. A nice site effect of having settings in plain text files is that it’s easy to synchronize the settings between multiple computers using Dropbox. This guide explains how it’s done – it works beautifully. If you haven’t tried out Sublime Text 2 yet I suggest you do so right now. If you’re a power user I’m sure you wouldn’t mind sharing a few tips in a comment.
