Hello, We are excited to announce a kickoff meeting for the Southern California Julia Users on October 7th at 6PM at UCLA (Engineering 4). There will be presentations by local Julia users showcasing their work. If you are interested in presenting, please let us know through email, Gitter, or this thread. We hope this will spark some interest for further events like HPC workshops and hackatons. For more information, see the meetup page <http://www.meetup.com/Southern-California-Julia-Users/events/234473837/>.
