Weekly Replay

Since Last Week

Last night Dan attended the New Orleans Dribbble Meetup at Cafe du Monde and today he spoke at CSS Dev Conf 2014. (Banner ad by conference organizer Christopher Schmitt above left.)

Back at HQ, we introduced the Charcoal Gameplan Notebook and took a Timeout with Victor Erixon. (Charcoal Gameplan Notebook center. Victor’s Apple OS Montauk right.)

Finally, September Dribbble Meetup numbers are in. 700 people attended 17 meetups in 8 countries. Additionally, we held “alternative” meetups at Bartfest in Spokane and at the National Poster Retrospecticus in Pawtucket, plus bought pizza for Refresh Boston's September Event.

Good Work

For the third year in a row, Dribbble is sponsoring the Festivus 5K holiday-themed race here in Salem and for the third year in a row, Dan is branding the event. The race raises money for the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism.

Meetup Wrap-up

Toronto, Canada, September 18

Thank you to the all the Dribbblers who showed up at BNotions for the latest Toronto Meetup. Thanks especially to organizer Farah Kanji. Keep your eyes open, Toronto, for more Meetups in the future!

Austin, Texas, September 21

ATX Dribbble didn’t have time to take a good photo, but they did have time to make FART ART. Dribbble Meetups … they’re a gas! (Just teasing you, Austin. We love you, and our kids love your f-art.) Photo credit: Sam Kapila.

Dublin, Ireland, September 25

No photo from Dublin. They have a good excuse: They’re gearing up to celebrate their 1-year Dublin Dribbble Meetup-versary! More info. forthcoming.

Seattle, Washington, September 25

Good times. No pictures. (Sense a theme this week?) Huge thanks to Facebook for hosting, and to organizers Mike Finch, Jeremy Loughnot, and Marissa McCombs. Special shout-out to Marissa, who helped us mere days before her wedding.

Dhaka, Bangladesh, September 27

From organizer Nuruzzaman Sheikh: “We wanted to arrange a friendly Dribbble Meetup so we could spend some time together, share some working experiences, our backgrounds and journey in this fabulous field: Designing. And we really spent a good and warming 3 hours together, having some Chinese dishes at one of the interesting auto-rotating restaurants in town. We’ve a relatively small amount of Dribbblers and many of them lives outside of the capital. One of the designers attended the meetup from outside the capital and he sacrificed two days of time for the meetup. In short it was really a fun meetup and all of us agreed to arrange something like this in more bigger way in the coming year.”

Many thanks to Nuruzzaman and his fellow organizers Tanveer Junayed and Abdus Salam, as well as everyone who attended. Extra-special thanks to Abdus, who traveled one day each way to get to/from the meetup. We appreciate the dedication!
