TYPOlight Meetings in London

[clemens]

The 3rd annual TYPOlight User Meeting is coming up in May this year in Essen, Germany. In addition to the official annual event, there are also many local get-together taking place on a regular basis all over the country. Wouldn't it be great to set up the same here in the UK? Let's get started!

We are calling on all TYPOlight partners, users and fans in and around London to get together for regular evenings to discuss and to share their experiences with TYPOlight.

If you are interested, please join the conversation, so we can organise a first "regulars' table" somewhere in Central London in the next few weeks.

I am looking forward to meeting you all.

Count me in, let me know when, and/or any help you need.

[clemens]

Count me in, let me know when, and/or any help you need.

Thank you! Let's see how many people are interested before we decide on a date and place.
In the meantime you can certainly help spreading the word.

[Ben_360fusion]

Count me in, I'd be up for this. It would be great to meet other typloight users.

[clemens]

Great! Shall we aim for beginning of March for a first get-together? Maybe we can organise a few more people until then.

[Doublespark]

Sounds good to me! I'm sure once the ball is rolling more users will come on board.

In the meantime I'll put out some blog posts that may help.

I have only just set up a Twitter A/C ops: so no followers, but if you or Ben have some maybe that is another route?

[waidis]

Great!
Count me in also.

[billh]

If I can, I will try and make it as well! Any dates/times being considered yet?

[clemens]

Hi guys,
So, shall we aim to organise the first TYPOlight UK meet-up this months then to get the ball rolling?
Any preferred dates?

Clemens

[Doublespark]

If it was possible to not to be on a Monday or a Wednesday that would be better for me. But, I am happy to go with the flow, and will be there any day you care to choose.

[clemens]

Ok, let's shift it slightly into April, maybe some people will join in.

First TYPOlight UK get-together: Friday, April 9, 2010.

Depending on how you guys are getting into London we can meet near a major train station, e.g. King's Cross, London Bridge or Charing Cross.

Clemens

[Doublespark]

9th is good, Kings Cross gets my vote.

[clemens]

Right then, there is a lovely little bar called "Cellar N1" near Kings Cross. I will book a table/section for us for April 9 to chill and chat. I would be happy to meet late afternoon already, but please do let me know what suits you.

Any alternative suggestions are welcome before April 5.

See you there,
Clemens

I have booked at "Cellar N1" for Friday April9, 2010 from 18:00.

Please us know if you are coming, either here on on Facebook: Facebook event

I am looking forward to seeing you.

Clemens

[clemens]

Please note that the time has changed for the user meeting at "Cellar N1" on Friday April9, 2010 to 19:00.

[clemens]

Hello TYPOlight fans,

It seem that April 9 isn't the most convenient date for some of you. I am happy to move the meet-up to the following week, April 12 - 16, if that is more convenient for you all.

Please let me know what date suits you best so we can re-schedule.

Best,
Clemens

[clemens]

Hi guys,

Because a few people can't make it for April 9 I am canceling the event and suggest we move it towards the end of the month, between April 26 - 30. How does that fit you all?

Clemens

[Doublespark]

Hi Clemens,

Thanks for that, would hate to have missed the first one.

Would prefer the end of week, Thursday the 29th would be best, but could also make the Friday.

Whatever date we will be there.

Ta, Gary.

[Doublespark]

Hi Clemens, have you decided on a date.

Ben, are you able to make it?

[clemens]

Let's make it Thursday, April 29. Same time and place as previously planned, "Cellar N1" near King's Cross Station at 19:00.

[Doublespark]

Excellent see you there!!

Hopefully Ben? and a few others can make it as well.

[Ben_360fusion]

Hi,

I'll try to arrange a meeting in London around that time so I can make it.

Hopefully see you soon

[clemens]

That's great news, Ben. Friday would work for me as well, if that is more convenient for you.

[Doublespark]

Friday also good for me, probably better actually.

[clemens]

Same for me actually. Shall we say Friday, April 30 then?
Ben, how does that work for you?

Same place as previously planned, "Cellar N1" near King's Cross Station, from 18:00.
Let me know and i'll book a table again.

C.

[clemens]

Friday it is then. See you guys there.

[clemens]

Our first TYPOlight UK meet-up at Cellar N1 in London last night was a great start to what will hopefully become a regular get-together. Thank you very much for coming guys, it was great to finally meet you in person.

I am looking forward to seeing you again, as well as a few new faces, possibly end of June?

Have a good bank holiday weekend,
Clemens

[Doublespark]

Yep, it was a good start. We'll make a start on th promised videos etc and let you have these asap.

How about penciling in the last Friday in June the 25th.

[clemens]

June 25 works for me. Shall we make that date public?

[Doublespark]

Yep, looking forward to another good night. Hopefully giving plenty of notice will give others a chance to plan to make it.

[ramjet]

...and so the "Typolight Lager Louts Drinking Club" was born :D

[Ben_360fusion]

Hi,

Is the 25th Still on for the next meeting?

Ben

[Doublespark]

Hi Ben,

Clemens organises the event, so I should probably not jump straight in, here goes anyway

Whilst the numbers of those attending is small (won't be for long), I would say it's best for us to try and get as many people together on any particular date. That in mind, if you suggested a date that you can make it the rest I'm sure the rest of us can be flexible.

Learnt a lot last time, so I'm looking forward to the next one!

Best I get on with the promised videos as well!!

Gary.

PS. I'm on hols from the 26th June to the 3rd of July if those dates could be avoided

[clemens]

Hi Guys,

I still have the 25th in my calendar for our next get-together. Let me know if that works for all of you.

Best,
Clemens

[clemens]

Hi Guys,

Since no one has replied to the last post, today's meeting is not taking place.
Maybe we can reschedule for when everyone is back in the country. How does end of July sound?

Enjoy your holiday, Gary.

[Doublespark]

Hi Clemens,

Sorry did did not get back earlier in the week, I'm really under the cosh this week :-(

End of July will be great.

Cheers,

Gary.
