On February 4th we hosted the first Crystal Meetup in Argentina.
More than 20 people attended and 15 people saw the live streaming.
We had a great time and got to know some of our supporters from our own country.

The meetup started with Ary (@asterite) asking us: Why Crystal?. You can see the full presentation here:
