[EVENT] [Dallas / Forth Worth, Texas] phpBB Meet and Greet

Post by drathbun »

Highway and Handyman and I have already had the first D/FW phpBB Team meeting, at least as far as I am aware of. :) I would really enjoy getting to meet other D/FW area phpBB users.

Our weather is generally awesome this time of year, so one potential meeting ground could be a local park. This would keep it low budget (no need to order food or drinks) and could open it up to a younger audience as well. We could call it a phpBB Picnic and anyone could come with their family, and we would all just show up at the same time / same place for a visit. I live in the northern (Carrollton, Farmers Branch) area and there are all sorts of parks around here, and none of them charge an admission fee. If we meet outside then it's obviously just a "meet and greet" unless someone wants to bring a projector and a screen to run a presentation. :lol:

If we need more lead time and want to schedule something earlier next year (Jan-Feb timeframe) then I would suggest setting up an inside event instead. We can determine the venue based on the number of interested folks that respond. One advantage of an inside event is we could have a more formal program like we had at Londonvasion.

Basically, let's start with a roll-call just to find out who is in the area and interested. :geek:

I have family in Richardson and Plano so would enjoy attending something if the timing was right. And the odds of the timing being right are probably better than the odds of seeing something happen up here in Michigan's north woods. :)

One of my best friends lives in Fort Worth so I could take care of two things by attending.

Sam, what would help making the timing right for you? I have exchanged a few PM's with Lumpy (Robert) but we haven't talked dates yet.

I'm not sure when I'll be down there again so I can't be very helpful with dates, at least not at this time. But if you're able to get something going with local folks, I'd like to be on a mailing list. If I know something is on the calendar, I can plan accordingly.

If you'd like an e-mail address, let me know.

Sam, for now I suggest that you simply follow this topic. :) Any updates would be posted here before anywhere else.

But the idea of a date does make sense. I know things related to phpBB often move slowly :) so maybe we should shoot for sometime in the new year? I am going to suggest a weekend to allow for work and school schedules. If we try to meet early in the year it should probably be an indoor event.

I run the IT for the Flying Saucer Draught Beer Emporium, so I could reserve a spot at any one of the DFW Saucers if you're interested.
