As part of our general effort to strengthen the Nix community and spread knowledge of Nix to both experienced and new users, we are launching the Global Nix Meetup initiative. [Nix 20th Anniversary - March of Nix - Announcements - NixOS Discourse](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-20th-anniversary-march-of-nix/24209)
To do so, we are starting a thread to help community members interested in joining a meetup indicate the city most relevant to them. This will also help those interested in organizing to see if there is enough interest to get something going.
**What you need to do:**
- Interested in participating? Comment on or like any cities/hubs where if a meetup was organized, you would attend!
- Interested in organizing? Comment the city and say you want to organize.
The foundation has also started a grant/funding program that will directly support these meetups!

I could attend an in-person event near Detroit, MI, or Chicago, IL.

Alternatively, since the midwestern US is quite [a broad place](https://mapfight.xyz/map/midwest/), perhaps there would be interest in an online event.

I’m in northeast Ohio. Would be willing to drive anywhere within a few hours, including Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland or Columbus.
Otherwise a virtual event would work too.

@imincik See above for our meetup in Vienna, so pretty close to Slovakia - esp Bratislava. We are going to talk English if there’s someone who doesn’t speak German 🙂

Planning to organize an in-person event in the **Bay Area / Silicon Valley**
Will announce it here as well as on [our meetup page](https://www.meetup.com/silicon-valley-nix-nixos-user-group/).
Going to be working with @ron @fzakaria and others to choose a date and venue before announcing details.
In addition to indicating you will be attending here, do let me know if you would be able to do a talk or lightening talk at the event.
Excited for this all. Thanks @ron and others involved for putting this together.
