#sf_events

We ended up adding an Open Project Night on Monday March 10th, after the March 3rd one was pretty busy.  So, if you’re wondering how to keep up to date with our events here some additional ways to follow us:

Instagram and Facebook: We’ve been cross-posting to both places, and recently, we’ve been trying to announce events one week out with a reminder 1-3 days before the event.

Eventbrite: As mentioned a couple of posts ago, we’re trying out RSVPs for events via Eventbrite. While we aren't likely to have member-only events on our Eventbrite page, our public events are likely to be listed there.

We intend to continue posting to our blog (and public mailing list), but if you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll notice this blog has transitioned to batch announcing events, which seems likely to continue. We also exist on the following channels, where we announce upcoming events (in batches), fundraising efforts, and occasionally our blog posts:

Mastodon

Bluesky: New this year

Twitter/X: We rarely post here these days, except for year-end reports (occasionally) and fundraising announcements.
