Blogger Meetup News – San Francisco and UKOUG, Birmingham
October 6th, 2006 by Mark Rittman
A quick update on the forthcoming Oracle blogger meetups at Open World and the UKOUG Conference.
A couple of people warned me that the Thirsty Bear might be closed for a private function during the week of Open World. To be on the safe side, I gave them a call last night, and they are actually open on the Tuesday night. I’ve made a booking for fifteen people – I’m sure they can accomodate more if needed – so if you’re interested in coming, and you’ve not let me know so far, add a comment to this posting and I’ll put you on the list. If we get more than fifteen showing interest, I’ll increase the booking.
I’ve also had a word with the UKOUG and they’ve kindly offered again to sponsor a blogger social event during the conference week. The date that’s been suggested is Tuesday night (14th November), and what I’m proposing is a buffet in a pub, some money behind the bar and a start after the UKOUG volunteers meeting that night. Again, if you’re interested, add a comment (make sure you say which event you’re interested in) and I’ll make a note.

I’m pretty sure that I commented on the previous post but just in case, I will be there for OOW.
This is going to be fun.
See you there,

Ah! The comments are working again.
You already know, but to test the comments… I’ll be there too for OOW. Look forward to it, I suppose Doug can’t come to OOW after his DBF 2006 week? ;-)
Thanks Mark,
Dimitri

Believe me, I would if I could but unfortunately I have a normal job to do, too.
The Elton John factor might also be significant.

Ok, thanks everyone. I’ll put a list together soon and add it to the comments – we must be getting near the fifteen already, plus I’ll probably send an email out to those that came last year or who I’ll know will be in SF that week.

Hi Mark
Would like to hook up at the UKOUG blog dinner. Will you let use know the location?

I’ll be there for OOW (my first) and I’m definitely interested in the dinner meetup, although I’m not sure I qualify as a ‘Blogger’ compared with everyone else who’ll be there ;)

I’ll be there in the UK , if you’ll still have me, and may even update by then.
