Scala in Ukraine
summary
History of a resilient engineering community that builds a conference and meetups, moves online, then pauses because of war: Scala UA (2016–2019) organizes transport, speaker hotels, rehearsals and an online pivot in 2020 using Zoom plus a party platform; first local meetup in Dec 2017 has 10 attendees and regular events grow to ~15–20 speakers per conference and 200+ attendees annually; volunteers produce a Ukrainian Scala docs translation and host donation-linked online meetups.
