RE: Meetings? Events? Agendas?

Kell,

This all sounds fabulous, and will help so many confused, and lost
beginners, I know the feeling. Can you use my lily...@yahoo.com
account so I can stay up to date on changes and new revelations in
issues. I put in my notice at Murphy Graves (they've been awesome to
work for and they will be pushing toward revitizing whole firm but in
baby steps)...I'm leaving end of month to move to Sydney, AU. I was
accepted in Sydney Technological Univ to get a Masters in Digital
Architecture and a potential part time job with the reference of Henri
De Hanh, so off I go. Gonna be a crazzeee intense year, curriculum is
insanely difficult to complete in a year but worth a shot. Get together
soon before I leave, still looking for housing and waiting on student
visa, everything so tight right now be a miracle if I get to start in
July but I guess that's how I roll!! Arghhh-so yes please keep me in
loop even if I'm gonna be way down under!

Subject: Meetings? Events? Agendas?


First of all welcome to the LRUG! I've been a Revit user for just
about 4 years now. I have held positions as CAD Managers and BIM
Managers alongside design positions for over 10 years but I do not
come from a computer based architectural education. I am a graduate
of Autodesk University 2007, a member of the AIA, the Autodesk Users
Group International (AUGI), the Construction Specifiers Institute
(CSI) BIM Practice Group, the buildingSMART Alliance at the National
Institute of Building Sciences and the Collaborative BIM Advocates. I
am also a sort of mercenary BIM Specialist on the side. With so many
local firms investigating or adopting or contemplating Revit with an
interest in Building Information Modeling, I thought it would be a
good idea to try to organize local users and provide some support for
the community.

I was wondering what everyone thought about occasional face to face
meetings? What issues would warrant a meeting to discuss? And to get
a general idea of what kinds of issues users were wanting to address.
Advanced Solutions has expressed interest in participating when they
can to help organize but they want the users to take the lead. The
people I have spoken with who helped organize some of the more
successful Revit User Groups have all said the same thing: if the
community is involved then things will happen.

So, please participate. Feel free to ask questions, share successes
and vent. I look forward to collaborating with all of you.
