Re: [blog-378] Melbourne Bloggers Meetup

A special announcement from Darren Rowse - Problogger.net, Organizer of The Melbourne Weblogger Meetup Group

Hi Melbourne Weblogger Meetup Group,

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 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.

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.

Alister and I are brainstorming dates and locations - ideally sometime in the next month and somewhere in the CBD - perhaps a bar where we don't need to book anything.

If you have any suggestions let us know by replying to this. Otherwise we'll put a date and place together and get it out to you in the next few days.

In the mean time - how about some introductions? Reply to this email with your vital stats :-)

I'll start:

I'm Darren Rowse. I'm a blogger on blogs like problogger.net - digital-photography-school.com/blog and others. I'm also one of the founders of the b5media blog network where I work as the guy who heads up blogger training.

I'm married, have one child (9 months old - boy) and live in the north of Melbourne.

Keen to connect with others.

Darren Rowse
