AWDNUG February and a Geek Dinner
Last night was our February meeting of the Albury/Wodonga .NET User Group - our first for 2008.
In lieu of any presentations, we spent the night talking about each other's projects and goals for the year. It was a great discussion.
AWDNUG's attendance has been dwindling of late (there were only six of us there last night) so we really need to do something to promote the group. The weird part is that the email that gets sent out every month to let people know what's going on is addressed to around twenty people, so a good 60-70% of members just aren't bothering to show up.
I am keen to return to the "two presentations" format that we started with, and hopefully if we get the right presentations (or the right presenters) we can attract more attendees. If you're ever travelling between Sydney and Melbourne and would like to present for us, please let me know.
We also resolved to have our first "Geek Dinner" which will be a casual affair at the Boomerang Motel on Tuesday that 26th of February. Be there at 7pm if you want to "meet and eat" with a bunch of fellow geeks. We'll also use that night to discuss the prospect of moving our regular meetings to a Tuesday night instead of Wednesdays, to see if the day is the cause of the drop in numbers.
So anyway - hope to see you there on Tuesday the 26th.
