Dojopalooza - The Destination User Group

DataMaven

As I mentioned in the idea comments for the remote user group...

 

A few of us talked last year at Domopalooza about wanting to do some destination meetups.  We can pick a place and go adventuring together and have time set aside to delve into Domo stuff.  Aside from the more serious work of Domo, it would help us to maintain and build the friendships we create at Domopalooza, in User Group meetings, and on the Dojo.  

 

@swagner and I have been plotting...and it's getting good!

 

We would like input from those interested, and will follow up with a survey, if there is enough interest:

 

1. Do you have any ideas/preferences for destinations? (Starting with USA for now)
2. What style getaway do you prefer, or are you totally open? 
   • Indoor vs. Outdoor? 
   • Hiking/Camping/Adventure? 
   • Casino/Resort? 
   • Cruise?
   • Sightseeing? (Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, NYC, Historical Sites, Wine Tours)
3. Ideas for Domo-related fun activities?
   • Escape the Room (By solving Domo challenges)
   • Murder Mystery
   • Jeopardy

Don't feel like you need to answer all of these...just trying to get those brains going and see what we come up with!

 

Thanks everyone!

I love this idea.

Sadly I'm sitting in London ? but I can probably justify travelling to meet the Domo community somewhere.

 

That said, one of the things i wanted to do in EMEA before Coronavirus went crazy was organize a ski trip to the alps where we ski by day, apre the noon away, then and hack Domo by night. 

 

When the lifts closed, I imagined running sessions where we design and build workshops around upskilling in JavaScript by building custom connectors and custom apps or upskilling on Data Pipeline resiliency while walk through some wicked new Products and Features.   The end result of this would be building a network of Gloal DojoSapiens who can deliver workshops at user technical groups or meetups.

 

... but then coronavirus happened. ?

In the immediate term should we make a global Slack channel or Teams group where we can share content and Domo related stuff with each other? (is there space for that in Dojo @DaniBoy ?)  I've written a couple articles, tutorials, i have code i'd love to share as well as made video responses to some Dojo Posts.  I'd love to share.

@DomoRookie Hi Shannon!  I was happy you were on the call today!

@DataMaven I believe you meant to reach out to @smaiolo 

DataMaven

@DaniBoy I DID!!!  lol!  Sorry Shannon!  I copied from the wrong spot!

@jaeW_at_Onyx - This is all great to hear!  I am supposed to be going to Edinburgh in May, but we will see where things are at then.  If you're engaged on the Remote User Group call, I'm sure you'll hear about when I am coming.  I am sure we can figure out a way to connect.  Once the ocean has been crossed, only minor details remain, right?  

 

The account I am working on has an office in Wakefield.  It's painful to get there from London (or anywhere), but perhaps you can connect.  They really really need someone knowledgeable to buddy up with!

@DataMaven  what is the Remote User Call?

DataMaven

@jaeW_at_Onyx - Reach out to Dani in this thread and he'll get you looped in!
