I’m [on the ground in Kyoto and back at it](https://www.collxn.com/connxn/in-kyoto-and-back-at-it?ref=ashryan.io). And here’s a quick update about the [Kyoto Tech Meetup kickoff](https://www.ashryan.io/writing/help-kickstart-the-kyoto-tech-meetup-morning-coffee-edition/).

## Who the meetup is for

If you’re a current/aspiring/recovering developer, indie hacker, or founder who likes starting the day with fresh ideas (and caffeine), come through.

## What the meetup is

A **drop-in, agenda-free** morning hang for people building software or hardware in Kyoto.

Here’s the simple gist:

- **Come-and-go format**
- **No talks**
- **No pitches**
- **Japanese and English welcome**
- **Travelers welcome**

Come by, say hi, and roll into your day with new ideas.

## Light café etiquette

Please support the café: **buy a drink, thank the staff, keep the space friendly**, and remember we’re sharing the room.

## Details & RSVP

You can [RSVP on Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/kyoto-tech-meetup/events/310862906?ref=ashryan.io). Everything you need to know is there.
