Yeah when was the last Plug meeting.
We have an inability to even get the group together for a beer / coffee in
each city.. I gather there are other people in other major cities here on the
list.
Just getting together once a Year or Quarter would be a good start.
Back in the old days, "Im getting old" we used to have a Commodore club
meeting once a month, and we would all get our hardware, software our
drivers, out. There was not a meeting I did not see a soldering iron out,
hacking together a new interface.
Others get the chance to go to Australia / US / Europe for Open source
meetings but the rest just get discouraged as, it becomes a rich club. Where
if you did not get to the KDE meeting or the Apache meeting, then you are a
lower class programmer.
I will be at Token bar, Kalayaan Ave Makati, between P.Burgos and Makati Ave
having a beer at 6PM - 9PM min next Friday. No free wireless network there
that I know of, but they have cold beer and hot coffee and a couple of pool
tables.
If others have a better idea..
