Date: October 7th (first Saturday of the month)
Time: (flexable) 11 AM to nominally 4 PM
Location: State library; 328 Swanston Street, Melbourne, Victoria. (Link to page with map)
What to bring: yourself, a usable notebook/laptop if you happen to have one (being able to type text with it is all well and good, but not very usefull on it’s own), any draw
People confirmed: Me (1Samildanach), maybe maskedsow (he seemed very interested, and said 7th or 8th would be fine for him), }please insert your name here{ (;))
How to find each other: Hang around the front entrance (I’m fairly sure it’s the only one). Shouldn’t be hard to spot me, I’ll probably be wearing dark clothing with a hood up and carrying at least my notebook bag (probably another bag, too).
Link to the thread which in which this originated.
I admit, it hasn’t really been arranged so much as proposed and had positive responses to. Anyway, the intention is to start a regular meeting of Blender users where people can learn, socialise, share, etc. face-to-face, instead of face-to-computer-to-computer-to-face.
The start/finish times might need changing, so feedback on that (or anyhting else) would be welcome. My thinking behind having it start at 11 AM is that we would be able to wait around a bit for people to turn up, then wander off to get some lunch before we get into the artsy stuff. 4PM is just 'cause it should give us at least a few hours to do things, and isn’t terribly late. The ‘nominally’ thing is to indicate that it is more a guidline than a set in stone rule (if we decide we’ve had enough of each other before then, we can finish earlier).
I can’t thik of anything much else to say, sorry for not donig this thread earlier, I meant to but shrug.
EDIT: I originally posted this in Off-topic Chat, since the thread which spawned it was there (I suppose it probably should have been here). Looks like a moderator moved it without leaving any evidence, which caused me a little confusion.
i look forward to it
