Yudcoins, positive reinforcement and pizza will all be present. If you've been to our meetups, you know what I'm talking about, and if you didn't, the best way to find out is to come and see for yourself.

Info for newcomers: We gather in the Yandex office, you need the first revolving door under the archway. Here is a guide how to get there:

Time is wrong because of Russian timezones change; meetings start at 14:00 (local time).

"Yudcoins, positive reinforcement and pizza will all be present." - what are yudcoins? (not a prospective participant, just want the information to potentially improve the meetups I run)

Yudcoins are homebrew currency (visiting cards). They are used for making bets on events, to calibrate estimation and prediction skills.
