cross-posted from Damian Hickey:

Steve Dalton has suggested we run a Joomla User Group down the Gold Coast as a one off just to gather some Joomla developers and users together so they can be connected more to each other and to us.

Steve runs his business around Grails development and is involved in Bar Camps but knows about lots of Joomla developers on the Gold Coast. I'd be happy to go down and help run a meeting some time in late Feb? Anyone else interested? We'd have to do a bit of publicity starting in very early Feb to gather people together. I'd say it would be a fairly social event with a bit about Joomla and a chance for people to chat in a cafe or bar afterwards.
