Meetings and such

Ok then guys, here's the basic idea, as far as I understand it.

I'm supposed to organise things in regards to meetings. That said, I'm neither omnipresent nor blessed with an encyclopedic knowledge of the country and thus neither know much about good meeting places in most of your areas, nor can I turn up to many such meetings. In other words you can organise things yourself for the most part!

The good news is, I'm told we have a regional calandar, and I'm told I can edit it. Give me details and I'll put them in.

One suggestion that's popped up in some of the larger regions is that of "virtual write-ins". Aparently the idea is we all sit in a chat room for a few hours whilst writing. If anyone's interested in that idea, say.

I'm really not exactly positive how best to handle this to be honest. As you've probably all noticed this is a much smaller scale than NaNo. Anyone fancy throwing in some suggestions?

RE: Meetings and such

The chat room idea sounds good, depending on what sort of chat room it is. IRC good, Java evil.

As for IRL meetings... well, this is my first SF/NNWM, so I'm not sure what the usual drill is for them. Figuring out where everyone is would probably be the best place to start. I'm in the southwest, anyway, halfway between Carlisle and Ireland.

RE: Meetings and such

Well the roll call thread says where most folk are. Seems we're a bit scattered again this year.

And yeah, I agree that Java's evil. Personally I like the IRC idea, but I'm open to suggestions. Could set up some kinda webchat client if neccesary I guess.

Actually, the other option if the numbers don't turn out too excessive - perhaps a dozen per chat, or so - is Skype. It's got pretty good conference handling, and of course allows both voice and text. And it saves everyone the fuss of setting up IRC.

RE: Meetings and such

Also a good idea....

Right, I'm going to send out an email about this later.

Incidently, am I the only one who can post topics here this year or is this region just really really dead? :p

RE: Meetings and such

Well that's a shame, cos I have a big pile of stickers to hand out...

Hmm, I'll send out an email, i think.
