I’m keen for a Melbourne event as well and would fly down from Sydney to present/brains trust, etc.
Regards, Geoff From: Michael Ridland Sent: Monday, 7 July 2014 4:39 PM To: ozDotNet Hi Sorry to jump in late, I've been away the past week. I organised(with some great help from SSW) the Sydney Xamarin Hack day. I know that many of the key people in the Sydney event have already spoken of a Melbourne event. When I originally came up with the idea and event, the plan was to have it more casual with everyone hacking and no presentations. SSW encouraged me to make it more organized with some presentations and agenda. The format we came up with seemed to work well and most people had a great day, I definitely did. Like Andrew said venue, speakers, agenda, catering, swag, publicity. Though I never managed to organize a free lunch there was a pub next door in which most attendees got lunch from. I'm keen for a Melbourne event. Hey why not all cities, make it even more fun.
