I didn't mean to imply they were targetting a PLUG event. I think that's
how it came across to you. More below.

The reality is that there are now a great many different groups and
events in the Phoenix valley. Each of them could attract the some of
the same sorts of people as the others. And there are so many it is
no longer possible to have a certain evening "reserved" for any one
event.
There are lots of days open. This is the second event they've scheduled
the same night as a nearby event that has now been going for over a
decade.
No, there are not.
Monday - As the beginning of the work week, no group chooses Monday
because it kills attendance before you even start. See Friday.
Tuesday-Thursday - These are the much preferred days for an evening
tech gathering.
Friday - As the end of the work week, no group choose Friday because
that's when everyone parties or whatever. See Monday.
Saturday-Sunday - These usually are for longer events that take several hours.
So, we have three days in the middle of the week to have an evening
meeting. 12 days per month. Just 12.
Still lots of days. I think Mondays are still an option, but due to
holidays they might require flexibility.
Stealthmode Partners: Second Monday of every month
See, that's a Monday. Guess they're just trying to hide :).
And that is not all of the groups in Phoenix. And that's ignoring
more traditional business groups in which some of the PLUG audience
may be involved. Overlap will happen. Just have to keep offering
quality stuff and people will come if they are interested.
There can be effort to avoid overlap. I didn't say there hadn't been some
effort. Effort or not, the conflict is annoying.
I see it as annoying. Intentional conflicting times is not community
building.
Intentional? You're saying HeatSync Labs researched when PLUG was
meeting and purposefully chose the same day just to conflict with
PLUG. I don't believe that at all. They chose a day that worked for
their needs and the venue schedule.
I'm saying they knew about the PLUG meeting and chose to schedule that
night anyway.
I wasn't implying that they looked at a list of nights with nearby PLUG
meetings and chose from that list.
Conflicting, not targetting :). Still annoying, but I wasn't attributing
malice.
