About

webtuesday is a monthly meeting of IT professionals (nerds) in / near Zürich. The format is normally a 1 hour talk followed by drinks near by.

webtuesday is effectively cost free - it costs nothing to attend and has no direct costs to run. Help and input is needed though - see how to get in touch if you can do something for webtuesday.

One of webtuesday's "features" is we always meet at someone's office, in or around Zürich and that we try to pick a different office each time.

To date, companies which have helped out include (in no particular order) Liip, search.ch, Namics, Eurospider, tilllate, Amiado and shiftTHINK and quite some more.

Right now this is the biggest problem - peak attendance is ~35 people and average probably around ~25 so webtuesday is getting too big for the average meeting room. There also needs to be a reasonable drinks location nearby, able to cope with that kind of crowd.

If you can help, please contact Denis.

Always on the look out for interesting talks although there is a queue. Some guidelines;

• It should be something you have first hand experience of / work with professionally / are involved in developing etc.
• Topics are typically web-related although could be indirectly related e.g. "clustering"
• Open ends for discussion are worth having
• Aim for 1 hour max.

If you can help, please contact Harry. You can also (optionally) add to the proposals.

Starting 2007 we're trying to get webtuesday talks online somewhere like Google or Yahoo video, currently thanks to hard work from Corsin. First success online here (details).

If you can help out there, please contact Corsin.

Right now this isn't really a problem - attendance is "just right" at the moment - any bigger and it starts to become a monthly conference.

That said, images on Flickr or blogging is much appreciated.

"Organisation" is a used here in a very loose sense - webtuesday is largely self organising but the following people are there to make sure it keeps running...

• Denis De Mesmaeker - currently scheduling talks / venues
• Harry Fuecks - helping out
• Corsin Camichel - webtuesday video
• Christian Stocker - web hosting
• Maarten Manders - studying for exams

Once upon a time at Rossi's...
