Let's Network!

Re: [spiers] Let's Network!

Hi Wai Seng,

I'm not in the Seattle area, but I thought I'd mention meetup.com
because it would be a good medium for getting other interested people
to join when the time is right (and also you can do venue planning,
voting to see who will attend, message boards, etc.).....and it's all
free (that's my favorite part! ;-) ).

Take care!
