Vancouver User Group

Hi all'

So glad to hear that you were using Collaborate so people can attend. I will try that next time. with our tech.

Hi all and thanks for the meetup and special thanks to the organizers and those who shared their work! Sorry I had to leave early. I hope next time I will have something to share as well. Did you plan any future meetups or dates yet?

Hi Anni,

I believe we decided on March 29th @ 5-7 pm. At some point in the days
leading up to the meeting people can start to post up some challenges or
issues they might want some help with or for the group to consider. Then
when we get together we can brainstorm and/or get into some direct problem
solving.

Great to see some of you last night. We decided it was better to start a new thread for each meeting, as this one was getting unwieldy.

Please follow and subscribe to the thread below and we'll make sure you get information about our next meeting.

Many, many thanks to Lynn for hosting, in person and virtually.

Hello Vancouver Users! Lynn and I are hoping we can reboot our meeting in October.

In the meantime, if anyone is interested in a social gathering - I'll be in Vancouver on the 28th, and would be happy to meet up. Reply to the thread and we can work out details!

I am interested in meeting up, I can come after work around 5:30/6.

Hi Holly

I would love to join you again. Sept.28 works well for me after 6:00pm.

I'll find you all.

Hi everyone, 

I'm afraid that September for me is not good - have a few deadlines at work and also moving houses. However, October should be back to normal and would love to meet up.

Thanks

Gemma

OK, by my count there were at least 7 yays - I propose that we meet up around 5:30 on Thursday. Any suggestions for a pub near a skytrain station?

There is the Dubh Lin Gate  - Irish pub    1601 Main St.

Sounds like a good venue and location.  Unfortunately I have to pass on Thursday... hope to see you next time.

Sounds good. However, I was thinking: It's supposed to be beautiful on Thursday, perhaps one of our last nice days, is there a place with a nice patio near a skytrain?

Just a thought.

There is the Tap and Barrel in Olympic Villiage next door to skytrain, a little walk.

Looks lovely. Maybe Holly could chime in as she's the out-of-towner.

Sure either works for me. Let's say Tap & Barrel at 5:30. I'll see if I can get there early and snag an outdoor table.

Hi Holly, unfortunately, can't make it out Thursday, but I' really looking
forward to the next get together. I finally made it to a roadshow in
Seattle. What a rush!
