Super Monday Something (SMS)
September 23, 2008 – 2:24 pm
After several months of planning we have finally held our first large usergroup event last night at the Beehive in Newcastle University.
At short notice we collected 20 people from the following various usergroups:
- AWS (Amazon Web Services)
- Ruby
- LUG (Linux User Group)
- ACCU
- Refresh Newcastle
The ultimte goal is to build the profile of open source software in the North East of England. To do this it has been agreed that we need to boost the membership of the various user groups and allow them access to a really prefessional and properly managed meeting space for regular meetings. Newcastle University have been really generous to allow us access to the Beehive area.
Once the regular monthly process is setup properly then we can drive membership and attendance by running large format events every three months. The first of which is planned for Thursday 25th Sepember and billed as an indroduction to Software as a Service and is being managed by Codeworks Connect.
The untimate goal is to build participation in the region and make Super Monday Something a part of the monthly diary for digital and IT based companies in the North East.
If you are interested in attending one of the future events you can find out more on the NCL.OSN Google Group.
The group has setup a web site here:
