Betreff: World-Wide (ish) NeXT Meetups
This is a *very* geeky thought, but it strikes me that 2004-10-19 is
the tenth anniversary of the OpenStep specification being published,
and in my book that's as good an excuse for a party as any.
Unfortunately, 2004-10-19 is also a Tuesday; however may I recommend
that GNUstep/NeXTSTEP people from all over the world arrange to have
parties on the weekend of October 16/17? I for one would like to meet
some of you, discuss GNUstep, OS X, NeXT, reminisce about computers
gone by and also have a lot of fun.
So, how does it sound? I'd appreciate any feedback. Number of people
interested, locations of people, willingness to travel, what you'd
like to do; and most important of all willingness to arrange meet-ups!
It's unfeasible that everyone could get to one meeting but if we can
arrange parties in a number of suitably-spaced locations then we'll
still have a world-wide spirit; handy when considering the world-wide
web came from NeXTSTEP! ;-)
I myself will definitely organise something in Oxford, England...what
we do depends on what people want to do, but I can definitely promise
at least one real black slab for those who have never seen one to play
around, compare it with GNUstep/Cocoa, and see what we're all fussing
about. And whatever people want to do, I'm sure we can find a way to
do it in Oxford (or at least jump on a bus to London, for more
adventurous activities....).
OK, so the date was a bit of a cheesy tie-in, but the idea's real.
Meeting other *steppers, sharing information, shaking the hand of that
person you've been chatting to for the last few years on the mailing
list, they're all worthy goals, no? Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Graham.
