Re: [ql-users] QL2004
I would tend to agree with John and Roy - I think October 2004 is a good time to hold it. It allows plenty of time to organise everything, and to allow overseas QL'ers to arrange any travel plans. QL2000 was held at a similar time, and was a huge success for these reasons. Plus air travel would tend to be a bit cheaper as it is outside the summer months. Personally, I'd love to go to Eindhoven - haven't been as a trader, only a punter many years ago. A bit more expense for me, but I don't care as I'd probably combine it with a holiday for the family next year. So, can we agree on a venue and date, and move on from there?? We need to start hyping up the event NOW. Europe or UK? There have only been a few voices so far, so what are the rest of you thinking?

Highly favoured is October 2004 and the venues under consideration are the Horizon Centre Portsmouth or St Joris College Eindhoven. Combining the event with the AGM is not an option as one would detract from the other. I would opt for Eindhoven as there is local support, an excellent motel within walking distance and it may influence attendance from mainland Europe. I hope to see you all there. John Taylor.

Eindhoven is a good venue, of course, for those in Europe. I suspect though that attendance would be considerably less than for a UK show. Even though development activity is better from continental Europe, the vast majority of QLers still live in the UK.

Ahhh, go on What is >> it that keeps you guys away? 1) Being married to a woman who has *no* interest in computers at all and wouldn't want to go anywhere near a show that has anything to do with the *damned* things ! 2) Only having our weekends together means that it has to be something really important to 'part us from each other' at the weekend. Truthfully, I have attended a couple of shows in the past - one in Chester and the other in Newcastle, when I lived up in Aberdeen, and while they were fun, I didn't come away feeling I had had a really great time. However, this is exactly the case when I attend anything to do with my other interests in life - I just don't get anything out of 'user groups' or 'club' meetinigs etc. Maybe I'm too boring . So there you have it, my sad story. I do admire and respect the traders and regulars who attend these shows regardless of cost and location (worldwide) - you people have my deepest admiration for your dedication to a cause/club/etc - I'm afraid I don't have anything like your dedication.

Would that mean more resllers will be there as well, then? Would companies/guys like D&D (and other "mainlanders") come to it if it where in the UK? That would probably be a big draw for me, speaking as an oversea-er. On the other hand, I'd much rather see Germany than the UK for purely personal reasons, although I've never been to either. But for that matter, you could host in in any European country or Russia, as far I'm concerned. Except for Stockholm. I've already been there for a week.

Re: [ql-users] QL2004
So we are all going to converge on Eindhoven from all over the world in October 2004 for a major international show. I don't want to be a killjoy, but there is a very slight, relatively unimportant, complication. Who is going to organise it? Geoff Wicks

As to venue I dont have a preference as I know a lot of people are going to have to travel far to get there wherever its going to be. Not being a very sociable type myself, I might find it attractive if the venue could be available 24 hours and near, or combined with, the place of repose, so that those who prefer computing to eating/sleeping could get on with it at any unsociable hour they saw fit.

Some talks on more advanced aspects of Qdos/Smsq might make a nice change: GD2, Wman2, PE, Things, etc, ie beyond the basics that are available in the various tutorials. Anything that will promote the development of good software by the sort of people who develop software for the "QL", ie amateurs, or programmers/computerati that work professionally in other environments. This may also be interesting for lapsed QL professionals. By all means lay on the "How to improve your chances of promotion using Quill" and "Cataloguing your vintage whisky collection with Archive" if there is a demand, just dont forget the rest of us. <> Per
