Last night was the first meeting of the newly created Mid Island Web Workers Group at the Longwood Brewpub in Nanaimo. There were a lot of familiar faces as well as a bunch of new people, it was fun to meet some new people from the area. If anyone who reads this is living in the area, you should come to the next meeting! There is a group on facebook called 'Mid-Island Web Workers Users Group' you can join that has information on when meetings are, and I'm sure there will be a non-facebook site somewhere in the near future.
The description of the group on facebook is 'A users group for people working with Web/Internet technologies in the mid Vancouver Island region.', It's been started and organized by Jim Rutherford and the focus is on getting together a group of people from all languages and aspects of internet tech - designers, programmers, etc.
There is a newly created google group as well!
