San Francisco, anyone?? I’d love to have a get-together.
Thanks Lamere and bcdefg123 (heh), I’ve added you to the list. I am now back from PAX, so anyone that I’ve missed, leave a comment or poke me some other way and I’ll add you.
Bitraf, a hackerspace in Oslo, Norway will have a meetup; http://www.meetup.com/bitraf/events/57087302/
There should be a meetup in San Diego/La Jolla. This may need to be seriously proposed.
Sounds good. If you’re spearheading that, you should get on that. Then make a post/provide a link with details, and I’ll add it.
I’ll look into it. I’m hoping I can maybe find someplace comfy over at the UCSD campus, but my partner is possibly stuck with his desktop. I’ll definitely keep you looped in on any plans that may unfold.
if you can put a meeting location together for San Diego I will go to it…
The biggest problem right now is finding the space for it. UCSD would have been the best spot, but booking any of the rooms/classrooms is strict and unfortunately I’m an alumni making it even harder. u_u
My best idea is just flashmob Price Center and jam there. Not sure if that’s something that’s really ok, maybe with a few folks rather than a huge group?
I’ll definitely keep you in the loop since you’re around the hood.
Hello! We’ll be hosting a meet up in Brazil, here’s the link to the post.

We’re working on a SF Bay Area one(details tbd):

We’re having a gathering in Manchester, UK! It’s sold out (fifty tickets! We’re charging a little because there’s other stuff happening over the weekend too). However it’s likely that some people will cancel or not be able to attend or whatever, so get on the waiting list and we’ll let people know if tickets become available. Full details on the post:
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/04/11/were-having-a-gathering-too/
Oh man, that sucks. I hope someone drops out, I’m 10 mins out of Manchester by train =[
What about the CB2 indies in Cambridge, UK?

For anyone in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, feel free to come do LD23 with us.
We are a few people meeting up in the hackerspace, Labitat, in Copenhagen. Just created a facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/264442873648354/
Coventry, UK: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/04/13/ld23-meetup-coventry-uk/
We expect to be hosting one in Adelaide, Australia on the University of Adelaide campus. http://www.jamalaide.org.au/jams/ld-23
If only I didnt live an hour away from campus! Gah, a lot of time to sacrifice from a LD to spend driving… May have time to make it for a bit, shall see what happens.
We now have full details at the existing link. http://www.jamalaide.org.au/jams/ld-23
AD-Edge: I hope you can make an appearance. Just think of all the great ideas that will no doubt be bouncing around the common room.
The Aberdeen University Computer Science Society will be hosting an event again on the Kings College Campus of the University of Aberdeen. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/04/13/ludum-dare-23-meet-up-in-aberdeen-scotland/
The Omaha Game Developers Association, Bellevue University’s Game Studies program are hosting a site at CAMP Omaha. http://omahagamedev.com/blog/2012/04/ludum-dare-april-20-23-at-camp/
Phew! Had to do some extra research here. I did not know what state Omaha was in, and *I’m Guessing* CAMP is this coworking space I found via a Google search. Let me know if I’ve made a mistake.
The Cleveland Game Developers group in Cleveland, Ohio will be holding a Ludum Dare Launch event for a few hours on Friday night at the LaunchHouse in Shaker Heights. RSVPs would be appreciated so we can make sure we have enough table space reserved.

This is going to be more than amazing.

I would be interested as well.
