I'd do too meetings in a month, but I'd like to echo Tom's concerns about splitting up the group. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't take some sort of poll. I mean, look at how many folks showed up to listen to Ben. That right there says that the area has enough CF developers to sustain two groups.
Personally, I live in Mansfield but work in both Arlington and Dallas. In fact two of my clients are literally down the street and around the corner from the current meeting place. Also, I know that Dave lives in Addison (right?), and I have to admit to know having the first clue where that is in relation to all these other meeting places that folks are suggesting, but it seems we should give him some consideration as to where the meetings are. As I see it, there are a couple of reasons to change locations. 1. We're getting bigger. However attendance still seems to fluctuate. There are still times when the current meeting place has just enough seats for all of us. Like last Tuesday. 2. It would be *super cool* to have air conditioning and a *live internet connection*. I think that a live internet connection would enable some slightly slicker presentations (as far as demos go) and would also allow us to work out some way for folks to remotely attend the meetings. Anyway. Them's my thoughts. :o) Cheers, Chris On 9/13/07, Tom Woestman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Dave, > > > > Being from the Fort Worth side and driving an hour to each meeting it > would be great if the meetings were closer.
