Darren Rowse writes about the Melbourne Bloggers Meetup. They have a group on meetup.com, which I am not that fond of personally - I believe that there are things that upcoming.org does better.
Anyone in the Canberra, ACT area want to meet for coffee with a group of other bloggers? I know a few other Canberra and area bloggers (like Steve Collins, Donna Maurer, Matt Hodgson and Maria Murphy) but there must be a hundred others - if you are interested please email me via facibus AT gmail DOT com, and I’ll add you to the invite/notification list. We’re getting closer to holding BarCampCanberra - we could make an effort to get together then as well.
Andrew, sounds a lot like Beer 2.0 (http://www.tangler.com/group/6952) as thunk by our pal Martin, in Sydney or OpenCoffee (http://www.opencoffeeclub.org/). Both of which are admirable concepts. Add in yours and we have OpenBeerMeetupCoffeeBloggers! Yay.
But seriously. Yes. I’ll be there. Don’t forget to put it on Upcoming.
