We've not met, I'm more of a (long-term) lurker than a participator but I'd be very interested to hear about it. If I can make it. I often have to work late... :(

You do all realise that this will be fairly boring... business-like almost.

Recently become a student trustee of my SU, so submerged in jargon and acronyms, why not a bit more!
Just like everyone else, I'm definitely interested in the background and plans for the proposed new direction for the forum, despite only having actively been on a few months.
I'm sure a large number of forumers would be interested in this? You might find a surprising number of people cramming into your office sometime soon haha

You do all realise that this will be fairly boring... business-like almost.

An agenda may look like this:

• I'll talk through what I think the key problems are
  
• I'll talk through the ways in which I propose solving them
  
• A demo of some of a few key things in action
  
• A roadmap and dreamy big vision for the future
  
• Introduction to the other guys helping me (lower down the bill so we focus on the product first)
  
• Q and A
  
  

Probably will take 2 hours, one evening, perhaps next week or the week after... or a Saturday afternoon if that suits everyone better. Probably in my office above Pret on Gray's Inn Road (near Condor).

Not that it should affect planning since you've got a so many of us coming but weekends are best for me at the moment. I would like to come though.

I'll clear use of the office, and then will post here to determine what date/time works best out of the options I'll have./

sounds great but I wouldnt have time til after the weekend..

Buzzwords thread >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I don't even know what slideware is.

Should I dare ask?

No, let it slide.

I'd beware of things like that, it sounds like a trap.

Falling into Velocio's anti-shouting trap. :)

I suggest wearing jeans & a black turtle neck jumper VB

My houseguest at the moment is the CEO of an SU.

Get out, while you still can is the message, I think.

Haha, why?!
It's an incorporated charity if you're thinking about liability issues should everything crash and burn

So... if there were a presentation this Sunday... perhaps around 2pm.

Who would be interested in hearing what I want to do, how I see it working, and getting the chance to throw some curve ball ideas and views at me.

So, that's Sunday 11th December, at 2pm, near Gray's Inn Road.

List!

Balls, i'm in New York... video link?

Unlikely to manage a video link.

Though... we could just take over an upstairs of a pub if people would prefer a weekday evening.

If it's about an hour, then yep...

1. Mashton
   

I'd be more likely to make a weekday evening...

About an hour or so... mostly Q&A for you guys post-presentation.

I'll see if I can get space here if an evening is preferred... possibly Thursday or Friday evening, post-7pm?
