Hi all, Really great to see some activity back on this group, I would certainly love it if we could find a space to do regular face to face meetings - the meetings we used to have were quite informal, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing - the social aspects of meeting each other should not be under-estimated, even though most of us are probably now wired in to the global hive mind of the Internet on a day to day basis.
