It was a great day. The sky was clear and not rain all day. It made many people in Tangerang and Bogor come to the meetup organized by KSI Chapter Jakarta @steemitjakarta and Steemit Budaya @steemitbudaya in Pamulang.

^{*Ready for meetup.*}

The event was held at Roti Bakar 88 restaurant in the shopping center complex opposite Pamulang University in Pamulang, Tangerang Selatan, Banten, Saturday, May 5, 2018. This place was a meeting point of writers, artists and cultural movers around Pamulang. This time many artists from Pamulang and Bogor came.

Like the previous meetup, the event also promoted Steemit to the masses. The speakers were @blogiwank, @ahmadunyh, @musismail, @willyana, and @apilopoly. They shared their experiences using Steemit platform, from Steemit's rules to how to dilute the Steemit reward to Indonesian currency.

@ahmadunyh also explained about the use of Steemit as a medium of expression of the artists. Steemit was a social media platform similar to Wordpress blog and Facebook. Like both platforms, Steemit could be used as a media to display works and communicating with other artists.

However, Steemit was not a familiar medium among Indonesian artists. The visitors asked many questions about details of Steemit. Was it true that the reward of Steemit could be disbursed into Rupiah currency? How? How to do the right voting? Etc.. Speakers tried to explain these questions based on their experience.

In addition to discussing Steemit, the event was also filled with poetry readings. Speakers read their poems or other's poems, including author @zaimrofiqi.

Such meetings obviously needed to be done many times. Once met certainly could not discuss everything about Steemit. Further meetings needed to be done. And, most importantly, how to create an appropriate strategy to use Steemit as an adequate expression space for artists. Steemit was a great opportunity that anyone can use, including Indonesian artists.

See you again at the next meetup.

Steemit Menyebar ke Tangerang dan Bogor

Ini hari yang menyenangkan. Langit cerah dan tak hujan sepanjang hari. Mungkin inilah yang membuat banyak orang di Tangerang dan Bogor datang ke acara meetup yang diselenggarakan oleh KSI Chapter Jakarta @steemitjakarta dan Steemit Budaya @steemitbudaya di Pamulang.

^{Some writers who were interested to become steemians}

Acara diadakan di restoran Roti Bakar 88 di pusat pertokoan di seberang Universitas Pamulang di Pamulang, Tangerang Selatan, Banten, Sabtu, 5 Mei 2018. Tempat ini sering menjadi meeting point para sastrawan, seniman dan penggerak budaya di sekitar Pamulang. Kali ini banyak seniman dari Pamulang dan Bogor yang datang.

Seperti meetup sebelumnya, acara ini juga mempromosikan Steemit ke khalayak ramai. Pembicaranya adalah @blogiwank, @ahmadunyh, @musismail, @willyana, dan @apilopoly. Mereka berbagi pengalaman selama menggunakan platform Steemit, dari aturan main Steemit hingga cara mencairkan reward Steemit ke mata uang rupiah.

@ahmadunyh juga menjelaskan soal penggunaan Steemit sebagai media ekspresi para seniman. Steemit adalah platform media sosial yang mirip blog Wordpress dan Facebook. Seperti kedua platform itu, Steemit bisa digunakan sebagai ruang untuk memajang karya dan berkomunikasi dengan seniman lain.

Namun, Steemit bukanlah media yang familiar di kalangan seniman Indonesia. Para pengunjung banyak bertanya soal hal-hal rinci mengenai Steemit. Benarkah reward Steemit dapat dicairkan ke mata uang rupiah? Bagaimana caranya? Bagaimana melakukan voting yang tepat?

Para pembicara mencoba menjelaskan hal-hal tersebut berdasarkan pengalaman mereka. Selain membahas Steemit, acara juga diisi dengan pembacaan puisi. Para pembicara membacakan puisinya atau puisi orang lain, termasuk sastrawan @zaimrofiqi.

Pertemuan semacam ini jelas perlu dilakukan berkali-kali. Sekali bertemu tentu tak bisa membahas tuntas segala hal tentang Steemit. Pertemuan-pertemuan selanjutnya perlu dilakukan. Dan, yang terpenting, bagaimana menyusun strategi yang tepat untuk menggunakan Steemit sebagai ruang ekspresi yang memadai bagi para seniman. Ini sebuah peluang besar yang bisa dimanfaatkan siapa pun, termasuk seniman Indonesia.

Sampai jumpa lagi di meetup berikutnya.
