I am interested. I have started using TW back in 2008 and been promoting TW-TS in many conferences. Most recently in FOSS Asia 2014 in Phnom Penh, previously 2012 in Siem Reap, and 2010 in Ho Chi Minh city. My intro on TW was then in 2009 in Manila.

Though I may not be able to attend since I am away in Asia, I am interested to hear more. So I am copying to TS list which is less crowded than in TW list.

 I agree that this be a good idea. I don't know if it should be TW5 or Classic, or if it matters. I've not made the leap to TW5 (I'm a tiddlyspace user), so I think I'm partial to TW Classic, but I could be convinced otherwise.

I imagine a small group of users, perhaps gathered digitally, but ideally face-to-face, maybe 10-15 attendees, to share what we've been doing. I've been using tiddly* (mostly, tiddlyspace) as a platform to support teaching & learning (the "SUNYIT users" in tiddlyspace), and would love to share in understanding what others are doing. Forcing ourselves to gather our findings in a presentation space might enable us to learn from each other. And this moment in time (especially with the uncertainty in the tiddlyspace world) might be opportune.

Anyone interested? If I get 3-4 responses here, I'll initiate a broader discussion when we can start talking about timing and location. One motivating factor for me: a looming deadline for small-grant submission (May 15) that I'd hope to use to fund my participation & travel.

Hi Steve, Handoko,

> Anyone interested? 

Very much so. A face to face meeting would be terrific if it could be arranged - I live in Oxford, which is a popular venue for these kinds of conferences :)

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Count me in - Oxford a good venue, Cambridge even better!

It seems like we are getting some traction on this .... at least enough for me to write a grant proposal to cover my travel :)

Seems that UK makes some sense. Do we think we could get 5-7 users, and maybe 2-4 developers together?

Great, let us know if there's anything that can be done to help.

I think a conference should expect more than a hundred attendants. I
did participate in many larger conferences, camps, tech events etc
though quantity doesn't mean quality. So a smaller event attendees
would mean a meet-up and had been held several times. So far I've been
pushing TW to be included as a subject in larger tech events.*) If
only anyone would also be interested to join.

>Participants will include users, developers, scholars and students. We anticipate about 15-25 attendees and participants.

However, I like the idea Steve.
