Some months ago, my family and I embarked on a new adventure and set sail for the stunning landscapes of Portugal. Yes, we’ve made this place of vibrant culture, breathtaking nature, and delicious cuisine our home. 🏡☀️
However, I find myself missing the thrilling interactions and the spirit of the tech community that I enjoyed back in Poland. The lively tech events and the learning opportunities from meetups — both as an attendee and as an organizer — were not just about technology but also about connecting with people and sharing knowledge.
Feeling this void, I have decided to bring a piece of that community spirit to my new home by starting local meetups focused on front-end technologies (and not only). Especially since there is a lack of such here in the Algarve area. So my goal would be to create a space where tech enthusiasts in Portugal and visitors alike can come together to learn, share, and grow. It’s about recreating that sense of community and collaborative innovation here, where anyone interested in front-end development can find new friendships and inspiration… and maybe even some new business opportunities.
Now, “meetups” might sound ambitious at first, hence my initial step is to create a community. To achieve this, I plan to leverage the Meetup platform as a foundational tool to connect with like-minded individuals. Once we have established a core group of enthusiasts, I hope to organize events. The aim is to gradually build a robust series of events, focusing on modern front-end technologies and beyond. Imagine this: beach, palm trees, sunshine, beer, pizza, and tech discussions 🤩.
So hear me out — while this opportunity might not be a perfect fit for you personally, perhaps someone in your circle — friends, colleagues, or fellow community members — would find it intriguing and interesting. So, I kindly ask for your support in sharing this post and the Meetup group link. A big thank you in advance for any shares, and please, stay tuned for more updates!
