saying that you are coming so the venue can accomodate us more easily. is not necessary, is polite.[:)]

things people can do to make this meetup even better!:

yay for adelaide's cafe/resteraunt industry being what it is.
update: everything's going smoothly forward, i have avenues to exlore should i choose to
ie:
non profit organisation :O)
sponsorship
advertising with fliers in internet cafe's
i had needs of a piece fo paper with all the details on it the other day when a bunch of ratbagians turned up in the resteraunt that i work in, i had to quickly write it on a piece of paper for them =P
the guy i gave it to was very friendly tho said he would send it round the workplace :O) thanks buddy whatever your name was...
onto work now, i have a split shift today and tomorrow if anyone feels like coming into work
131 pirie street city Fasta Pasta.
see you all soon. and see all the sumeans at the next indie game developers conference(that was sooo cool)...
[:)] the meetup was a success in my opinion. it started off rocky then things smoothed over for the end,
there were 11 attendee's and only 4 of them were from the last meeting so it was a fairly new bunch of people to get to know. made things nice.
last time the majority of people were programmers, this time it was mostly artists which is a nice change. i think the numbers were 4 fine artists,4 3d artists, and 3 programmers. of cource everyone does a little cross genre work here and there.
paul and john brought in there portfolio's for people to browse over there lovely artwork.
it was your usual meet and greet event discussion was strong.
at 4pm i got up and did my presentation on character motion controll idea's, it was another step for me on my way to better public speaking and presentation skills.
idea's were presented shortly afetrwards to bring in any projects there stuck on or aspects they need verbal help on. odds are that someone could either give you directions or send you in the right direction
idea's were discussed for art workshops for people to practice there skills and exchange tecnique's, im thinkign that this idea can be made to cross many aspects of art ie 3d, 2d, traditional. will be interesting to see where this goes.
things to remember for next time:
make sure the music stays at a good level, it was turned up halfway through the meeting and i had to take steps to see it stayed at a good level.
not wait for latecomers... some people didnt turn up.
all in all it was good all round and from the people i talked to at the end they thought the same.
enjoy the month and i will be back in two weeks with information for the next one.
Hey,
I just wanted to say I had a good time at the meeting. It was interesting to see a range of people in terms of skills.
I think it would be cool in future for people who have done some work to be able to bring it in and have it discussed. Like a forum, but live...
btw I was one of the 3d artists :)
so far the people who have rsvp'd are
