Good summary Peter, I would like to hear from people on this list who either have never attend the user group or rarely attend.
What would it take to get you to a user group, or why don't you attend. Is it location, time, content, other?

Thanks to all who attended and to Rocket Boots for picking up the bar tab. By the way, for those of you who missed this piece of news, Mark Mandel has stepped down from co-managing the Melbourne CFUG and I have stepped in to work with Steve Onnis for this year. Mark, thanks for all your hard work, and we look forward to seeing you as often as you're able to make it to the CFUGs. Steve and my roles will be very roughly divided between communication, booking speakers, etc (me) and general logistics and sponsorship (Steve). Aside from drinking, we discussed where the Melbourne CFUG might go this year and resolved that there will not be a formal CFUG this month, and that we'll kick off in earnest for March. Other than that, no hard-and-fast decisions were made as we'd like to involve as many of you as possible in shaping the group. Included in the things we tossed around were: - VENUE: Dale on behalf of Cog State once again generously offered their board room. Cog State will be moving into the CBD later in the year, so this would satisfy centrality. Would people prefer a room at a bar (provided noise levels, suitable projection, etc could be managed)? - SCOPE: Given the demise of both the Adobe and Flex UGs here in Melbourne, should we provide coverage across the Adobe dev space and incorporate at least Flex? There was a general feeling that this would bring benefits to both camps. - FORMAT: Various formats were kicked around, including 1 main presentation plus discussion, 2 presentations, 1 main plus 1 small presentation, etc. Some of us would also like a casual, social opportunity to have a drink and talk afterward. - SPEAKERS / TOPICS: As always, we'll be looking for people prepared to present on a topic of interest. Please put yourself forward if you'd like to offer. We'll also be asking you what sorts of topics you'd all like covered. Steve Onnis and I will be organising a survey shortly to get a clear handle on what people want. In the meantime, your input here would be very welcome.
