We've now setup a Meetup group for the MJUG. You can follow the group http://www.meetup.com/melbournejug/

Meetup is the world's largest network of local groups. Meetup makes it easy for anyone to organize a local group or find one of the thousands already meeting up face-to-face. More than 2,000 groups get together in local communities each day, each one with the goal of improving themselves or their communities.

The Sydney user group has been using Meetup for a while to increase it's profile (you can find groups near you that you might be interested in) and announce its meetings more easily.

Signing up to the meetup page is optional, but will certainly help you
- remember the next meeting date - automatic reminders are sent out 3 days before the event... so if we forget to tell you about it, they will remember to!
- access special offers and perks that we can offer to MJUG members
- find other meetup groups that you might be interested in around Melbourne.

So sign up now... even if it's just to make it look like we've actually got a few members in the group to get the ball rolling!

Excellent move Patrick.

Auto notification is brilliant for those who forget dates or mix up the weeks. Don't know how though - its the same every month.

Shane - suprising how often that happens. Provided we put the meetings in (and having a nicely worked out schedule framework for 2012 already is really going to help) and people join meetup, it will be great.

Peter - was surprised last week to hear how well it had been going for you guys, hence us signing up. Already have 8 members on there, with 4 of them fresh faces for the group!

Reminder to all MJUGers we are now using Meetup for all meeting notifications and should you wish to receive reminders this is the forum/medium we will be using as we we move forwards.

The monthly meeting notification will no longer be posted here in this forum.

You can register for Meetup with us at http://www.meetup.com/melbournejug/

Just to rephrase Shane's post...

The meetup group is the main place for announcements about upcoming meetings.

They'll still be posted here, but mainly in order to garner initial conversation about the topics for the meeting, such as we're doing for Feb 22nd - www.meetup.com/melbournejug/events/42146002/
