I'd also be very interested.<br>
A one day event, is likely to work much better than the 1 - 2 hours
each month ..<br>
<br>
I'd be a great listener, and audience .. <br>

<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>

good idea. Esp. If its in diff locations. Then everyone
gets a chance to be involved esp. Those of us who could
get away with doing it locally rather than asking to get
funding to go out of town which would never happen.<o:p></o:p></span></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">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>

<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>
