Re: [WSG] RE: You have subscribed to wsg@webstandardsgroup.org
Welcome to the WSG Nancy! Online meetings is not something that has been suggested as far as I know but maybe worth looking into if there is enough interest. (Just a reminder that anyone with ideas like this can leave a comment to the member feedback thread over at the discussion room- http://discuss.webstandardsgroup.org/archives/08.htm) Just so you know by my count there as 9 members in the state of Massachusetts, 6 of whom live in Boston and 1 who lives near Boston. As a co-organiser of the Melbourne Group, that's about as many members as we had on the books when the decision to start a Melbourne Group was made. It just takes one or two people willing to get the thing off the ground. The advantage? Apart from meeting like minded people and networking, you can often solve a problems face to face alot quicker and easier. So if there are any Boston types interested, maybe we can move this thread to the discussion room, so you can chat and get organised. That's how the Brisbane group got off the ground. cheers dez Dear WSG, This group seems like a great group and will take advantage of the information that I learn through the digest and visiting your website. I have always been interested in Web Standards, and have a special interest in web accessibility. Living in Massachusetts USA, means that I probably will never attend a meeting. Have you ever considered having your meetings online somehow. I realize time may also be a factor, just a thought.

If you've got web access where you do the meeting, I guess it would be possibly to set up a streaming server and stream the meetings. With SkillSwap I've even wondered about setting up an informal group iChatAV. Don't know if it'd work though. On the subject of international groups, I wonder if anybody has thought about integrating the WSG with http://webstandards.meetup.com/ ?

It is a great group indeed, helpful and friendly people from down under (literally) for us ;o) I have always been interested in Web Standards, and have a special interest in web accessibility. Living in Massachusetts USA, means that I probably will never attend a meeting. Same here, unless I get to Tasmania this summer, might go there for a conference so if it is good in time I might try to attend as it's not far away then, else I live just north of you, Maine, USA Have you ever considered having your meetings online somehow. I realize time may also be a factor, just a thought. Would be a cool thing, but probably somewhat hard to administer on a free basis, but you just never know Regards ~Veine Veine K Vikberg http://www.vikberg.net Professional Web Guru

Dear WSG, Thank you all for responding. I am still exploring your website and what you have to offer since I discovered you all only this morning. In reply to the individual who talked about the webstandards meetup: I joined a css meetup once, and I think I was the only one that signed up in my area so it never happened. I understand the limitations in setting up an online meeting, but would support this if it could ever happen. If anyone in my area of New England, ever wants to meet, I am game.
