<DIV>Was talking to Gary B (who runs the list) – he also has been thinking of
setting up a library where people can contribute code for benefit of others, and
pick up others tricks.....I for instance do all my printing with Rave by
displaying the stuff on the screen in labels/memos/grids etc and then have a
generic print button that prints the form. Works so well I
have never written any special printed reports...would be happy to contribute
such an idea for example.</DIV>

think that its a good idea. Esp. If its in diff locations. Then everyone gets a

[DUG] Barcamp possibly?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I was thinking before this roadshow that a sort of Delphi
barcamp might be a better bet - I tried organising a Delphi user group a few
years back but it never worked mores the pity. It doesn't work for most tech
groups I find as people don't get much value out of it (esp. if its an hour
long) and evenings are hard for people. <o:p></o:p></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I'm wondering if a full Saturday with multiple rooms and
people coming along and talking about stuff they are doing, solutions they've
found, all that kind of stuff would work better? It seems to work in most of the
other communities I am involved in, would people be interested in that? There
are some very clever people on this list and I know a few of you are really very
good at sharing as well as good for networking. <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>If it worked, we could schedule it every 6-8 months or so
(bounce between Auckland & Christchurch). We could also make it start later
(say 10 or 10:30am) to allow people from other cities to come in for the
day.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
