Thoughts on Community Dinners
April 25, 2006
Darren has posted up a suggestion on how individuals can get more out of (and consequently add more too) technical communities by attending regular dinners with a set group of people (up to about ten).
The thing that would appeal to me about participating in a forum like this is that it would be possible to get familiar with the various challenges people are facing, and share experiences and advice. Over time a level of trust would be built up amongst the group which is where the real challenges get shared – I think.
I’d love to get involved in one of these groups, maybe you should assemble a group of peers like Darren is suggesting too?

I have not read Darren’s post yet but going by what you have read I think it is a good idea and definately helps the people involved in one or the other way. Above everything else the networking itself really pays off.

Sounds like the old ‘Chamber of Commerce’ idea.
Like-minded professionals gathering for a regular dinner meeting, preferably with a politician or two thrown in for good measure.
