I'd also be very interested.
A one day event, is likely to work much better than the 1 - 2 hours each
month ..
I'd be a great listener, and audience ..

Was talking to Gary B (who runs the list) – he also has been thinking
of setting up a library where people can contribute code for benefit
of others, and pick up others tricks.....I for instance do all my
printing with Rave by displaying the stuff on the screen in
labels/memos/grids etc and then have a generic print button that
prints the form. Works so well I have never written any special
printed reports...would be happy to contribute such an idea for example.

I think that its a good idea. Esp. If its in diff locations. Then
everyone gets a chance to be involved esp. Those of us who could get
away with doing it locally rather than asking to get funding to go out
of town which would never happen.

I was thinking before this roadshow that a sort of Delphi barcamp
might be a better bet - I tried organising a Delphi user group a few
years back but it never worked mores the pity. It doesn't work for
most tech groups I find as people don't get much value out of it (esp.
if its an hour long) and evenings are hard for people.
I'm wondering if a full Saturday with multiple rooms and people coming
along and talking about stuff they are doing, solutions they've found,
all that kind of stuff would work better? It seems to work in most of
the other communities I am involved in, would people be interested in
that? There are some very clever people on this list and I know a few
of you are really very good at sharing as well as good for networking.
If it worked, we could schedule it every 6-8 months or so (bounce
between Auckland & Christchurch). We could also make it start later
(say 10 or 10:30am) to allow people from other cities to come in for
the day.
Just a thought
Richard
