Guys,

Some folks have talked about a half way GSD ... which is a great idea ... maybe a few hours on one day when we could all get online or on Vent and check in with each other. So that's definitely on the table ...

How about a weekly or monthly Vent/OnLine Chat that we could organize for maybe a few hours a day to keep the communication going. Your participation in the board is the heart that pumps life into this thing. Let's try to get that heart going a bit Smile

I'm as much to blame as anyone with wayyyyy to much work lately ... but for better or worse ... I've got more time.

Thoughts?

Laz

Yeah, work has been eating up much of my free time lately. That and hanging out w/ the GF. But yeah, some kind of weekly vent meeting might work.

Saturday afternoons or evenings are good for me.

I'll work on installing a Ventrilo server this weekend. Though the free version will only support 8 connections, the people meeting on a weekly basis shouldn't number more than that, at least at first. We'll reevaluate if the average attendance does go that high.

Depending on the time over here when these happen I should be able to pop in regularly even if i'm still constrained to the text chat Smile

I noticed that Ventrillo lets you create a web link with the server settings. When Zitch sets up the server, I could put the weblink on the home page to make it easier for people to login. It would save having to type all the info in by hand.

Just talked to Laz on IM and we're tentatively setting up a Vent meeting at 1 PM EST on Saturday. Hope to see some of you on the vent server! (Connection info is here).

Oh, crud, looks like I won't be able to make this one on Saturday as I'll be out of town till a few hours later. I'll make sure it's up and running tomorrow before I head out.
