A technology community in Williamsburg, Virginia

RSVP on MeetupThe premise
A place to compare notes in person.
Most conversations about new technology happen online, where hype often moves faster than experience. JFS gives people around Williamsburg a place to show what they are actually trying and talk through what happened.
You do not need to be an expert or arrive with a finished project. If the subject interests you, you belong in the room.
Bring your part of the map. Share what you're learning, ask honest questions, and help the room understand what is changing.
History and the future sit beside each other here.
Jamestown helped set an earlier period of enormous change in motion. We meet nearby to understand a new technological frontier together, in person.

The venue may be a brewery, a café, or any room with a decent table and enough quiet to talk. Each session has a subject, but the conversation follows what people bring.
