There are a number - over 40 on the list now Jason.  And we've been seeking out a suitable venue for a meeting next month.  I'm looking forward to meeting those who can come along and hopefully we can make it a regular event, so it will be good to see you once you're in Melbourne.
 
Welcome!

Hello Darren,

I'm not exactly sure who started this group or what it's done so far but I've been talking about a Melbourne bloggers meetup for years now and never did anything about it. Today I was talking with Alister Cameron (a member of this group) and we thought perhaps it was time to do something.
>> I'm moving to Melbourne in July and would very much like to get involved in arranging meetings/events/projects around web design and blogging.

I went to a Sydney meetup late last year and it was a great night - they really are getting to know each other and are having some fun times. Some are even collaborating on projects - I was jealous and wanted to do something here.
>> I attended an excellent meetup in London for web professionals - over a hundred people, fairly well-known speakers, fast free wi-fi and sponsorship that payed the bar bill. Lots of good discussion g oing on.

So when we saw this group needed a moderator I signed up and thought I'd put the word out to you that I was hoping we could get together. Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes - if I am I'm happy to transfer this over to whoever started it up to run.
>> I was going to apply but not actually being in the country yet, decided against it! From July I'd be happy to help with organising, promotion etc

In the mean time - how about some introductions? Reply to this email with your vital stats :-)
>> I'm Jason King. I'm a web designer who works exclusively with charities. I customise WordPress to their needs and train them to use blogs/cms. I currently live on a narrowboat in the UK and blog about life afloat at www.afloat.org.uk. From July 2007 I'll be living and working in Melbourne. My website is at www.kingjason.co.uk.
