Ergh, don't really want this to become a voting thing. I'd argue there's value in this list being an oceania/regional focus - more knowledge shared between a large enough group, without it being too large/noisy. It's good to know about events on the other side of the Tasman too.
Websites and associations, however, fit better on a country basis. -- Pat On 09/01/2012, at 6:21 PM, Glenn Davy wrote: > If we're voting, then… > +1 for Ruby > +1 for Oceania > > > -- > Glenn Davy > Sent with Sparrow > > On Monday, 9 January 2012 at 6:16 PM, Keith Pitt wrote: > >> I hate Oceaneanic, we're Australian! >> >> Magic Keith >> >> -- >> Keith Pitt >> >> On Monday, 9 January 2012 at 5:14 PM, Paul Annesley wrote: >> >>> >>> On 09/01/2012, at 5:08 PM, Pat Allan wrote: >>> >>>> It would have been great to have one organisation for Oceania, but legally >>>> that's far too large a headache to be worthwhile >>> >>> Also most people don't know what the hell Oceania means, nor how to spell >>> it. >>> Or is that just me? >>> >>> +1 for Ruby, not Rails. >>> +1 for Australia, not Oceaneanic. >>> >>> NZ is welcome to make official their de facto status as an Australian state >>> ;) >>> >>> >>>> -- >>>> Pat >>>> >>>> On 09/01/2012, at 5:05 PM, Clifford Heath wrote: >>>> >>>>> In earlier discussion we agreed that RORO, which initially had been >>>>> coined as >>>>> an acronym for Ruby On Rails Oceania, should henceforth be interpreted as >>>>> Ruby Or Rails Oceania. >>>>> >>>>> Further, Oceania was chosen because New Zealand wanted to be included.
