Port 80 Canberra: Friday 10 February

Posted by Nathanael Boehm on February 9th, 2006 in General

Hi all,

For anyone in Canberra who didn’t receive the email, the second Port 80 Canberra meeting was held today after the combined WSG/W3C meeting today.

Must say, pretty disappointed in the local crowd turnout - only 3 from Canberra there, overshadowed by the massive Sydney mob (four people) - but at least we managed to take up a whole table and make enough noise to make it look/sound like a decent sized crowd.

But next time … there better be a LOT more people come along! Let me know what day is better - I’m organising this for YOU people so talk to me and tell me what is going to work for you.

I can tell you we had a great time there, with Russ, Peter … and a few others …

Ok ok, Lisa, Amit, Ajay, Ruth and Damo.

All the rest of you - you missed OUT!

Alot of people are talking about it:

    Yeah about the same turnout as last time - except this time there were more Sydney people than Canberra!! Search flickr in about an hour and you’ll see plenty of the meeting :)

    Nice to meet you again Nat. I’m sure we’ll outshine those Sydney-siders at the next meeting ;)

    Might as well add my 2c……..umm was good catching up with the Sydney folk again and meeting some new ones, what’s that guy’s name again? Rufus? Ross? Ahh that’s it, Russ!! :-)

    Nat and I are considering an overnighter to Sydney for the next Sydney WSG (hopefully we can rope in some more Canberrans).
