I tried hooking up with a local LUG, but that didn't go so well. Recently I tripped across this meetup.com site. It doesn't seem like anything shady or anything (although I'm not sure how they're making money off it) So, basically, I'm asking anyone in the Pittsburgh area interested in getting together to talk tech to sign up. Let's see if this meetup.com thing can organize meetings like it says it can. (Hell, if you're not from Pittsburgh, I guess it's OK to sign up for your city as well) No, I don't work for meetup. No, I don't get kickbacks or anything for signing anyone up. No, this isn't a pyramid scheme (at least, not as far as I can tell) I just got bummed last month when not enough people signed up to make a meeting worthwhile and thought I'd see if I could drum up some interest. http://bsd.meetup.com -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
