A few of us have been mulling this over for a while and decided that we should push ahead with it and have a social get together in a pub for people in and around Aberdeen who are involved with web design, development, programming, video, multimedia etc etc. A quick question to a few people I know show this to be a popular thing to attempt although it'll need someone to say "be here at this time", so, I've nominated myself to get the first one sorted and we'll take it from there...if I do a good job, i'll probably organise the second one...if not, someone will brush me aside and grab the reigns. This is a heads up for all those interested. If you want to post your interest here or contact me using the form on my "contact" page, we'll see what kind of numbers we're dealing with and then choose a date.

It should be noted that I currently attend an Aberdeen coldfusion meetup which I would recommend to anyone as well, although the focus is (quite rightly) coldfusion first, there are often a good mix of people with different skills in attendance and due to it's (slightly) more formal structure, there's the opportunity to see someone present on a subject and there's also a ton of discussion on geeky matters as well as huge scope for booze.

The main difference with this new meetup will be it's not tied to any one thing which will hopefully attract a wider base of people for informal chat etc, it's a perfect opportunity to meet others in Aberdeen working in the industry and figure out who's doing what...as well as the fact that we'll meet in a pub so there's even MORE scope for a beer or two.

Another thing we'll need is some kind of web presence, so if people want to start thinking about that, we can maybe form a little working group of volunteers to get that done too.

thoughts people?
