I picked the largest Starbucks in the city for the first event, simply because it's close to the railway station and a large NCP car park on Boar Lane. Also, we'll have cakes, coffee & connectivity!.

I know people wanted an indie venue for the first event, but let's go for convenience first and then we can look at Oracle, Living Room or other places for OpenCoffee {Duo}

I think he means a job that pays a steady wage. But i'm pretty sure the majority of people have those.

@justinpw
Gonna beat Imran to it and say "The more the merrier" the more people that are there the better, so yes come along :-) i would be willing to speak to you about projects.

@Imran
Also free wifi sounds good, UK Starbucks want to learn from the Americans and offer free wifi anyway.

I'll try buy a few hours of wifi and share it off my Mac.

We'll be on the top floor of this Starbucks so grab your drinks and come on up...they might even open up a private meeting room for us...I'll have to grab the deputy manager for that tommorow morning!

Things went really well - thanks everyone for coming along, hanging out and sharing. We counted 27 attendees in the end and I think everyone managed to find someone interesting to speak to :)

Apologies to those whom I couldn't speak to - grab me next time around...
