The Connection Experiment NYC [In Person]
Sat, Aug 29, 11:30 PM**We're hosting an evening of real conversation.** The kind that reminds you of who you really are, but rarely gets asked anymore. **What to Expect 🪑** You'll spend 1.5-2 hours with 15-20 people in a series of paired conversations. Here's how it works: * Throughout the evening, you'll rotate through conversations with different people 🔄 * Each pair gets 15 minutes and thoughtful questions to explore together 💭 * You'll both ask AND answer, equal time, full attention 👂 * After each round, you move on to someone new. You'll have 4-5 conversations total **Why We're Gathering 🌱** In a world where we're more "connected" than ever, genuine conversation has become surprisingly rare. This event isn't about networking, professional development, or problem-solving. It's about something simpler and more nourishing: the experience of truly listening and being heard. **Tickets:** $18, which covers drinks and the venue. We're not running this to make money, just to keep it small and cover costs. *(Early bird pricing may apply, see ticket options)*

Please note that going forward, those who sign up and neither cancel nor show up will be permanently removed from the group. Also, if you need to cancel, please have the courtesy to give at least 24 hours' advance notice rather than canceling immediately before the event, so those on the waiting list have an opportunity to attend.
Open Source System Administration Study Group
Sun, Aug 16, 6:00 PMThis group will learn about system administration topics with hands-on collaborative learning on a homelab setup of four Dell servers. A description of this session's plan in down below. We’ll deploy components like LDAP(authentication), Ansible (Infrastructure as Code), NextCloud (file storage), OpenStack (Cloud computing), OpenTofu (IaC Terraform fork), containerization and other open source software. We also intend to explore clustering, certainly high-availability and possibly compute clustering. We've setup the hardware, installed the OS, and established procedures and documentation standards. Now we're starting to work in small groups or individually on projects. An under-construction list of project ideas is at https://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/Project_Ideas. We have room for a few new people. Sign up to this event, come and do the exercise, and you're in. Join the Hack Manhattan Discord and say hello. DM me there with your email address so I can sign you up for a wiki account. Please bring a laptop if you can. We'll have a limited number of machines available you can use.
