[webproducers] Re: local web producers meetups?

Could do something in West TN area (as we've discussed before...)

Here's an idea - do we have traditional message boards available?  We could
make boards available by state then by major city and start to develop
ideas/connections there first before trying some other tool...??

Subject: [webproducers] local web producers meetups?

Hey all-

In the past I've sponsored local events in NY and even when I was  
visiting London last spring.

I've been running WPO for nearly eight years now and we often hear of  
interest in local events or gatherings. In the past I've encouraged  
folks to kick start local chapters as I see WPO as a kind of open- 
source professional community but it never seems to happen.

I'm curious what you think would be a good way to get this moving  so  
local interactive producers have a way to get together without having  
to do tons of planning. Should we use meetup.com or some other tool to  
make it easy to plan or is someone interested in helping to create  
something that would reside on the WPO site?

As the industry continues to mature it would be great to figure out  
ways to involve more of the community but also keep it more free-form  
and a professional community than an old style "association".

Any ideas?
