San Francisco の startup などで働く日本人エンジニアが集まって、苦労話なんかを共有できると楽しいかなーと思って作ってみました。コンピュータに限らずエンジニアなら是非参加してみてください。今のところ月に一回くらいどこかで集まるような会を考えています。気を遣わない気楽な会にしていきたいですね。是非日本語で introduction の欄に在米歴職業などの自己紹介を書いてください。 グループ名に“日本人”ってありますが、日本語でコミュニケーションがとれる方なら歓迎します。ただし、日本語会話の勉強グループではないことは理解してください。 If I didn't make my point clear: this group is for expat Japanese, and requires you to speak Japanese.  If you don't write what I asked above, you're gonna be questioned.

This group hopes to connect people in San Francisco. Most of our events are centered around South Asian themes. If you are drawn to off and not-so-off beat South Asian cultural stuff, please join us.
