Hey Kai, this is a great idea. I've had some people on my CFMeetup (coldfusionmeetup.com) also ask for such a time for just "hanging out" together virtually, as opposed the more typical lecture time from one of our several dozen speakers over the past two years.
We did it on an ad hoc basis just last week when a speaker had to cancel at the last minute and it went really well. Now I plan to tack it on to the end of some of our meetings. Of course, they are at noon and 6pm US EDT (on Thursdays) and so way too early for "beer o'clock" for you guys in OZ and NZ. :-) So I wish you well with the idea. Yours will be at our 10pm, but on a Friday night it might be fun. Will you be announcing details here later in the week? /charlie From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kai Koenig Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2009 5:04 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Virtual ANZ Friday beer o'clock... Heya all, just wondering - anyone interesting to have a cross-country & cross-region virtual beer o'clock in Connect next Friday? We're thinking about starting at 4 pm NZ time so that our friends in WA can start drinking at lunch time but the room can stay open as long as people like, really :-) Interesting virtual networking/webcam/chitchat opportunity for people who work from home or are freelancing and usually miss out at beer o'clock. To be fair - I have no idea how the server and the Connect room will cope, but I thought it's worth a try. Let me know off-list if you're interested.
