So do you know when the next GTUG-AR meeting is?

Do you know if there's any correspondence between DevFest2009 and the GTUG?

Maybe we could have a special meeting between the GTUG members at Devfest2009?

Do you know how many members there are? Maybe we can still invite some of the members to the event?

Maximiliano,

I'm happy to meet for lunch/dinner whenever you're free.  :-)

Thanks!

Im just an admin here, im im very close with google since i worked with them in Globant for more that 3 years.

Is true that the group is not very active, and thats what we wanna change...

These steps are in that direction!

Chris,

Thanks for your quick reply. No, I'm not the organizer or manager of GTUG-AR. I believe the manager is Bruno (who actually sent us the invitation to write you as he is copied in this e-mail) but I don't know him. To be honest, the GTUG-AR was a dead group until now. I even didn't remember I was in. So, there isn't really a big community behind it (yet). So, we need to create it. This is the first Google's event for developers in Argentina, so it will bring a lot of interested developers.

How will be your agenda?
I'm hosting an event today in Buenos Aires (Adobe Latin Flash Tour) with speakers from US talking about RIA, Flash CS5, Flash for iPhone, AIR 2.0. It may be your direct interesting, but if you want, you are invited.

Bruno, You are the manager, right? What do you think about organizing some meeting?

BR,

Maximiliano

Hello Maximiliano,

Very pleased to meet you.

I'm still planning out my week here in BA, but would be happy to meet with you and hopefully other GTUG-AR members.

Are you the organizer for the GTUG-AR group as well as ARFUG?

Thanks,

-Chris
