An unnamed Callstack representative delivers closing remarks at React Native EU 2017, thanking attendees and organizers and reflecting on the conference’s community focus.

Thanks to attendees and organizers

The speaker thanks attendees for coming, trusting the organizers, and spending two days discussing React Native. They also recognize the Callstack team and backstage crew for making the conference happen.

Making the community more accessible

The speaker says the event was created to bring the React Native community together. Before joining Callstack as CTO, they found it difficult to travel abroad to meet people in the community, including Eric and Andrea. The conference gave attendees a chance to meet people, ask questions, and discuss topics such as licenses.

Keep the community going

The speaker hopes attendees will return the following year, alongside familiar and new faces. They describe the conference as a chance to spend two days together, enjoy an after-party, and then continue supporting open source through places such as Twitter and GitHub.

Takeaways

  • In-person events can help community members meet peers they might otherwise only encounter online.
  • Make time at conferences for direct questions and informal conversations, including practical topics such as licensing.
  • Plan community events as a starting point for continued collaboration on open source.
