Re: [Emc-users] What is the Wichita meeting?
Gentlemen, I always enter these meetings (Galesburg and Wichita) without a personal agenda. This allows me to enjoy whatever opportunity presents itself. This meeting is by no means exclusive to developers. Everyone is welcome/encouraged to attend. The more the merrier. Come and have fun. I can understand being disappointed with not completing a task or project during the week but if you get to know all the people you will find help that lasts far longer than the meeting week. Remember, a meeting and fee schedule do not exist. As for why it is not promoted and the website or forum or IRC - I have no idea. I am hardly ever on the forum, hardly ever on IRC. thanks Stuart Look forward to seeing whomever shows up. :) -- dos centavos -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
