I’m delighted to invite you to the 3rd TiddlyWiki European Meetup on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th June 2018, here in Oxford, UK. It’s for anyone interested in TiddlyWiki, whether Classic, 5 or “X”.

We had similar events last year and the year below (see photos below). It has been a terrific opportunity to meet face-to-face and get to know one another.

The first year we focussed on working together on twederation but broke out into many interesting discussions and demonstrations. Last year we held a series of presentations/demos that we filmed for posterity:


Hopefully we can learn from our previous experience and make the event this year even better.

Still to do:

* Finalising the venue; I’m hoping to use the same place as previous years
* Although the event is free of charge, I’ll set up eventbrite (or equivalent) so that people can register and I can have an idea of numbers
* Planning the schedule; we'll kick off with dinner on the evening of Friday 8th.

Please reply here if you’re interested in attending, or with any questions or suggestions.

If you can’t make it to Oxford for this years meeting, you might like to consider setting up your own local event instead. If it is over the same weekend we can network them together, too.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Having been to these two meetups, I approach this with some scepticism.

Firstly the meetups are interesting in terms of putting names to faces, finding out how people are using TW, and generally being awed by how people are doing some seriously brilliant stuff. Elliot's Dyslexic work was nothing short of fantastic.

Secondly I am kind of disappointed in that the meetups didn't really achieve any kind of mile stone. No decisions or conclusions were made. Perhaps this is not the point of the meeting, but I feel that if we're going to get together then there should be some positive result for the community.

Many of the points we had put up on the Trello board to be discussed produced little result, other than as a talking point.

I am undecided at the moment as to whether it's worthwhile attending.

Hi Dragon
I hope you’ll decide to come, yours has been a valuable perspective and your talks much enjoyed.

My personal goals/expectations for these meetings aren’t really about being productive; it’s hard enough for a group that works together every day to be productive, let alone a loosely bound group like ours. For me, a big chunk is putting faces to names, but the main direct value is in learning why (and how) other people use (and develop) TiddlyWiki. Meeting face-to-face isn’t always possible, but when it happens it adds a welcome extra dimension to our relationships the rest of the year.

I’m open to suggestions as to how we schedule activities for these meetups. If there are decisions or conclusions that would be useful let’s explore them.

The reason we opted for the mini-hangout format last year was part of trying to find ways to make the meetup useful for people who weren’t there, and to leave behind something durable.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Which is the reason I go to Seefeld/Scharnitz every year. :D

I am going to be in the US during the meet up this year so I won't be able to make it. I can try to join on a video call but I will be visiting family and I don't know if I will have much time.

Apologies, I'm not going to be able to host the meetup this year in any case. My elbow problems are still dominating my attention.

Best wishes

I wonder if there are enough of us interested in a TiddyWiki America Meet up?

Jeremy et al...

I only wish I could make it (still 1% Possible) from here in Sydney. I would be lucky to get a round trip for $1,200 AUD and I would need to be billeted at someones house to avoid hotel expenses.

However I would consider either a Skype or contributing to the material or agendas to be considered. 

If the truth be known I am about to dump something on the community I may very well need to argue and defend (mums the word)

I do understand where Dragon is coming from, but I would suggest he go with a target in mind and obtain consensus and feedback, he could make what he thinks should happen actually occur. Even if it is in a single area.

Regards
Tony

If it were held here in Boise I could make it. Aside from that, anywhere in the Pacific Northwest I might be able to go.  Travel costs a lot. :(
