Hey all -

I've been wanting to organize a little cowork where the theme is "working on your highly neglected personal site" for quite a while. Our old friend Scott Hadfield (aka. hadsie) is going to be in town during the Olympics, so I thought that was a perfect excuse!

Please do sign up if you know you're coming! We've got space to fit 18ish people comfortably at AB so, we've got room for about 3 more people as of Thurs Feb 4.

WHERE: Affinity Bridge - Suite 710, 207 W. Hastings St. (at Cambie, in the Dominion Building)

HOW TO GET IN: There will be a phone number posted on the door to call to get let in.

Fantastic

Brilliant, I've been trying to make time to start on a design for my own site, this might be the perfect opportunity, and a chance to work on an HTML scraper idea that I had. Good suggestion Ariane.

Great idea!

Yep, that's me. Always working on client sites while my poor sites are terribly neglected...

We can use the affinitybridge offices

We can use the affinity bridge offices. Building mackhardy.ca out is still on my back back burner

Indeed if the group expected isn't tooooo big, AB HQ should do.

Maybe if people get crazy they can hack on a personal site install profile! ;)

Good Plan

I am away for some of the Olympics but if I'm in town on the day then I'm really keen.
ollywalker.com is just sad!

I'd be up for this. I always have neglected personal projects on the go. :)

Great idea!

How did you know that I have highly neglected personal website? Something like this is needed as excuse to work on it. I'd like to attend but will not be able to RSVP until a date is set. Olympic overlap may be a problem.

date is set, just not the location. ;-)

(ps. i'm pretty sure we're all guilty!)

Excellent timing

Makes a good Valentines day surprise. I am sure she won't check her personal website before Monday, and she has been asking for a site makeover for so long :)

Can't make it, have fun!

Out of town this day, but sounds like fun. Hope it goes well and perhaps there's the chance it can happen again in the future.
Cheers!

Aw sad, Olly! There will be more coworks to come though, for sure. :-)

Not sure if I will make it

Not sure if I will make it yet, but I am keen. I might upgrade drupal.geek.nz to Drupal 7 and maybe find a designer who will pimp out my site with an awesome design for me?

Oh, if anyone knows anyone seeking accommodation for the olympic period, please put them in touch with me. I can hook them up with a great deal.

Can we hookup via skype (or something) as well? Would like to work on one of my personal sites but heading all that way to do that... well...

That is a fine idea. Should start using ichat video as well - could be fun.

Yes, IRC!

Aw sadness Greg! Do stop by and visit if you can. And yes, do join in on the #drupal-vancouver IRC channel if you can't make it in person!

I might have to cancel but we'll see what tomorrow brings. I'm house hunting and it depens on how many open houses I get through :)
