Originally called Textile’s Sewer (since soiree is hard to pronounce and spell), this event is dedicated to sharing information about anything technical or just awesome. As Technology Enthusiasts, most of us are constantly learning about new technologies. The Minicon is a event dedicated to sharing what we have learned with others. Speakers can use this as a way to practice their talks before conferences and/or just practice their speaking skills and get feedback. If you have a request for a topic or are interested in giving a talk, contact Pronto via the google group, meetup group, in person or whatever other medium you prefer. If any presenters want to share their presentation, please make a request via our Github.
