Who to let in the group?

[Wesley]

Welcome! I so stoked that so many people have shown interest in a
meetup, and I'm speaking to SFDC about making things official.

Wanted to discuss who we want to let into the group and therefore
attend the meetups. For example I can see Barry Cranford wants to
join, and although he has great experience in these types of things he
is also one of the highest profile recruiters in London. My gut feel
for now is to only let developers and admins in the group so we can
keep it fun while excluding "The Suits".

I am open to persuasion and wanted to get everyone else's opinion.

Great news. Looking forward to hearing the developments.

I think content is more important than who the members are. We also
have the following google group

http://groups.google.com/group/sfdclondon-jobs

As long as we keep things on this group to dev and admin subjects and
keep the jobs on the other list than I'm happy. If anyone wants to
lurk then that's fine by me.

As far as attending meetups, again I think it is important thing is
for the meeting to be about the dev or admin subject. If recruiters
want to buy drinks in the pub afterwards, then that's fine. If anyone
is rude or pushy or ruins the fun we're having in our dev/admin group
then I think we should ask them to leave. I'm particularly sensitive
to this as I had a problem in the London Clojure Dojo, so I'm happy to
be vigilant and bounce anyone who tries to hijack an event.

cheers,
Bruce

Cool I'm happy with that. I think devs can smell bullsh*t from a mile
away :) If anyone is made uncomfortable I'm sure they let one of us
know.

We also moderate on at least the 1st post as well, so that should keep
the noise down. ;-)

Cheers Bruce!! My reply was on similar lines but you beat me to it.

As long as we ensure that the signal to noise ratio on the forums is high, and the recruiters aren't being too aggressive(recruitment wise), we should be okay.

Glad to have experienced meetup chaps on board :) I'm down with all of
the above.
