Am 31. Jul, 2009 schwätzte Nathan England so: moin moin, > I wish there was something like that down here in Douglas! I'd like to find another geek type person, even a Windows User... Didn't realize you're now down in Douglas. Unlike Payson, I might actually know people in Douglas :). Start a Free Software Stammtisch. I'll list you on my Stammtische page. Even if no one show up, you get to go out for a meal and some drinks once a month :). Find a restaurant that has room for a few people to meet and talk and show up there every month at the same time. Announce it with PLUG and the Arizona LoCo. There's also a community college down there, so maybe you can put up flyers there. We already have Stammtische in Tempe, Avondale and Prescott. It's a low effort type of meeting because no presentations or organization outside some advertising is required. It's also fun even if you only get a couple of other people to show up. We only had 3 people in Tempe in July ( after having at least 20 in June ), but the 3 of us had fun. I also got more info about a potential job, so it was definitely worth it for me. ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.LuftHans.com/Classes/ # "Every person who has mastered a profession is a skeptic concerning it." # -- George Bernard Shaw
