Hi Janet, My primary reason for wanting to join a group is the loner factor. It would be nice to see people in the same room to discuss issues on web sites or just talk about the industry in general.
This list is great, but I really do need to get face to face with others for discussion. I don't have any answers and reading your post just shows I'm in the same boat as everyone else! :-) Deb -----Original Message----- From: janet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 12:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] Anyone a member of a local web developer group? Hi Deb- Well, as I am not getting much response from those who do belong (although it is the weekend and perhaps responses will pick up), maybe you could tell me why you would like to join a group. What activities would draw you? What benefits would you expect from such a group? One of our concerns is that as so much information is online, is there anything a local, face-to-face group could offer that would be compelling and different from what could be done online. Comments that keep coming up in our group are that techies tend to be loners and not joiners. I know lots of techies who break this generalization, but are we going against the flow here? Our group includes, webmasters, programmers, graphic artists, hobbyists, writers, etc. so we have a wide range of interests and skills. This is good and bad One of the negatives is it is hard to have events that have broad appeal. What do you think?
