Darn I'm definitly in then

[Zimmergren]

Hey G!

I would love to come if I had any other business in the US aswell.. However I live in Sweden, so travelling about half the planet for a convention would be a bit overkill.
Perhaps we could arrange some in Europe some day, then I'll definately show up.

By the way; Is there some possibility to engage in a multi-user webcam conference? Does anyonw know of an application to do that? (That is, you can see all of the participators in your window, and they can see eachother and yourself..)
Say connecting 10 people to a webcam server or something, and that way having a live cross-country videoconference.. Just a thought =)

Cheers

We can use skype to do that. Plus guys this isn't even a Con just a get together

[Sano]

Would this count for CPE's?
If so, I might be able to talk my boss into paying for the trip.

If you do a small presentation sure it would.

[mathofaka]

if we do a presentation wa exactly does it have to be about

and i jus wanted to say ure lazy lol

[pingywon]

GSecur I would luv to make it (and whos to say - I still might), but it is a little hard for me to foot the travel time for only a few hours of "hang out" time.

I know some of my co-horts are gonna be there and thats all the more reason for me to go ...so we shall see.


WHEN this turns into a Con - count me in for sure.

GSO can start a con ever other year in NYC (have it the opposite years of 2600s HOPE con)


...moving forward im about 3 hrs south of NYC - if there is anything I could do to help oganization wise - let me know

Maybe a future(istic) idea:

we could do different meetings at different places all over the world at the same time (which will be a little odd with all the different time zones and so ) and then link them together by videoconferencing on a big screen or so

[LittleHacker]

I propose to do meeting not in real world but in a virtual space such as IRC of GSO or even a video conf.
Just need a timing plan & I think most of ppl will attend

[Erliene]

That is great idea, knowing each other.... huih great...and nice
But I cannot be there because I from south east asia and most of south east asia people will have many problem to get US Visa...
I suggest for who cant come to the meeting still be connected with instant messenger or video converence (maybe Yahoo messenger with webcam) or....
so it will be a nice party....

[Blake]

I can see that everyone wants to do a video conference. I am going to take a look at few options such as using skype.

But as for this meet it is just an excuse to get together and have some fun, also to test out how many people will come out. I am sure that more people would come out if it was a con, but hey we have to start some where.

[Digital_Spirit]

Well as far as a full out Conferencing system, Why not make it a GSO Coding project? I usually fly once every few months anyways, so if I can clear my er schedule, I will try and make it.

[Kynroxes]

It's a great initiative,
however I couldn't come, just like much of anybody I am currently undertaking studies in Europe.

But good luck for this first meeting.

[Meads]

Shame you aint still in liverpool dude i would have shown up NY is way too far..

[Nick W]

Yeah, this sounds good. Start small, if there's enough for a conference, let me know and I'll start writing up some stuff about identity management and maybe I can present something. That'd be pretty cool!
