A Brief History
- 2021-03-20:
r/AusDevslaunched!- These days, nobody uses it anymore. All activity is within Discord.
- 2021-03-25: The 1.0.0 Discord was publicly launched! (We’re going by the Reddit post date.)
- If anybody has some interesting 1.0.0 lore to share, we’d love to hear it!
- 2023-03-09: The 2.0.0 Discord was founded!
- 2024-01-25: Small AusDevs-organized Sydney meetup, primarily organized by kumo! Hung out in the Atlassian games room, played two-player Taiko no Tatsujin with two drum controllers, and had a mini office tour!
- 2024-02-17: First proper AusDevs-organized Sydney meetup, organized by RJ! Hung out in Fortress in the tavern with food, games, and playing Cards Against Humanity (brought by NgoBugs). Afterwards, most of the group headed to Timezone next door for some arcade games!

- Sim also recorded footage of the lion dance that happened during the arcade session. (Nobody from the meetup can be seen in the video.)
- An estimated 12 people turned up. We’re not 100% sure about exact attendance numbers since nobody kept count.
