Ask HN: Any Brisbane Based Hackers?

[ctrand]

Hello HNers,

I was just wondering if there are any other Brisbane (Australia) Hackers out there?

I am co-founder of a Brisbane based startup and I am wondering if there is any community presence here as my business partner and I would love to share successes, lament difficulties and learn as much as possible from likeminded people.

Reply to this and let me know!

Thanks,

Carl

Working in a startup at the iLab incubator in Toowong. Some interesting companies in here. There's a good meetup that meets here also, Upstarta, if you looking to chat about startups etc... http://www.meetup.com/upstarta-brisbane-qld/

Hey mate,

I have heard about iLab before but it fell off my radar for some reason. How helpful have you found it? Do you need to give anything in return for the services they offer?

I just saw that meetup group today too!

I'm based in sunny Brisbane. I mostly do consulting, but I'm trying to launch a product in my spare time.

Cool! How is that working out for you?

I had to quit my job before any real progress was made on my venture.

My site has been live for a couple months now and is starting to get consistent and increasing levels of visitors thanks to riding the long tail :D

Very exciting!
