Remote Working in the Triangle: September Newsletter π»
|
Happy September, co-remote workers of the Triangle! By now we're seeing college students pour back into the Triangle, and with temperatures dipping to merely the mid-80s most days now, I'm gearing up into full Mr. Autumn Man mode, ready to start hitting some nice outdoor coffee shops and restaurants to work from. If you too are looking for some new venues to try, you should check out this awesome spreadsheet put together by our awesome organizer Melody Jaros. In it, you'll find different tabs for different parts of the Triangle, each with a list of venues you can work from, along with other crucial details like seating situation, WiFi strength and password, and other various notes. This is constant work in progress, so if you have any good venue recommendations, shout them out in our Slack community, and we can add to the spreadsheet. And hat tip to Melody for putting this together! What we're up toIn response to numerous requests for more evening events, last month we held our first pub crawl, in which about 20 of us wound our way through several different bars in Downtown Cary. It was a great way to unwind with fellow remote workers after being cooped up at home all week. And we had so much fun, we're planning to do another one through downtown Durham later this month! (See event listing here) Also, thank you to those who've reached out with interest in speaking at events. As I've said in recent newsletters, we'd like to start putting some "value-add" to some of our events. Evening drinks are great, but they can be even better with speakers on topics relevant to remote workers and digital nomads to enlighten us and provide conversation fodder. So if you have any interest in speaking, running a workshop or hosting any other sort of event relevant to members of this group, please get in touch! Parameters on topics are pretty wide, so whatever you've got in mind, fire it our way. Our upcoming eventsReminder that these are only the events already confirmed, and they are subject to change. We often post new events less than a week ahead of time, so be sure to follow us on Meetup to stay up on them as they're posted or adjusted. If you're interested in becoming an event host or joining our leadership team in another context, please get in touch!

Happy May, co-remote workers of the Triangle! And hello after a bit of a hiatus from this newsletter.
