As I mentioned in my previous post I’m thinking of starting a meetup group for all things WordPress in the Sussex and Surrey areas.
I’m not sure of the exact format yet but I’m thinking if we start with small ambitions and try organise a monthly meetup for users and developers interested in WordPress and any of its sister projects.
I am thinking of organising something on a week night with the first meetup to happen in August and then try to arrange them to occur on a monthly basis.
So as I can get an idea of interested numbers and ideal locations please comment on this post if you would be interested in attending letting me know if there are any week nights you can’t do and with the area you would be travelling from so I can try to pick somewhere that is easily accessible to as many people as possible.
Once I’ve got a good idea of numbers and localities I will arrange the first meetup.
I’d be interested. I’m in RH1 (home) and RH2 (work).
Well, if you _did_ want to do it in Camberley, I’m happy to host, or source a venue near the train station! (I’m GU15 btw).
I’m setting up a WordPress user group in Brighton, which is probably a little out of the way, but it’s still Sussex, so maybe we could have a combined event occasionally? I got quite bit of interest on twitter, so I need to do something about it now!
Hey, I’m not far from Brighton. Got any details or a webpage yet?
Not yet I’m afraid, but I’m going to use it as an excuse to setup a Buddypress site. I’m meeting with a couple of other people who want to help organise it on 12th, so I’ll get some info to you after that.
I’m not far from Brighton either, if it’s open to all count me in.
12th August works for me as well.
It looks like the plan is to run a mini-Wordcamp first (something like an afternoon event with 2 tracks), probably in one of the co-working spaces down here in Brighton. I’m still keen on setting up a user group though, so I’ll start planning that.
Paul and James, I’ll let you know any info. How can I get your contact details?
