I think that sadly for me, Barbara was the person I got least chance to talk to. Ah well, maybe I can fix this at some future meet!

You bet, Metatone! I do think we would have benefited from playing musical chairs once an hour or so. But not all is lost! We're debating whether to go to Toulouse now, so , if the budget allows and you're there, we will fix it :).

The problem is we're moving house next weekend... The budget allows assuming you're willing to trade the requisite visit to IKEA for an ET meetup in Toulouse... </snark>

Terrific! It's beautiful down there and it would be lovely to see you although I realise it's a bit soon after the 1st meet up.

Sadly there was that whole other-end-of-the-table thing going to on, glimpsed dimly past people's heads and through bottles.

I think there's a political consensus that there will have to be more swapping and mingling next time.

On the subject of which - London? Barcelona? Prague? (Wiltshire?)

Next ET meeting - the working group starts here (none / 0)

I'm happy to go to a meeting anywhere, so long as it's not before July (not last weekend of). Tho August may be expensive travel-wise.

Praque is good (dons beer goggles, mmmmm).

I think London should have a local meet but I think it's unfair on our continental cousins.

Barcelona, now we're cooking with gas.

How about Berlin ? We might be able to attract the Scandanavian contingent.

I wouldn't worry about that. I'd expect to see meet-ups in other parts of Europe as well.

You're right, we needed more musical chairs--and I was one of the guilty of sitting put, talking to the people nearby. I didn't see the time go by. Then you and Helen had to leave and I realized the afternoon was over... Duh! Hope we can catch up next time. ;)

Lil thinks everyone should have been made to introduce themselves...that would have forced interaction (or more of it...)

Hey...tell Lilliana to set up a login and you can both post...looks like she's starting to get interested if she's telling you to comment for her!!

Helen, Barbara...we might have Lilliana on board sooner than she thinks!!

I have to say there's another solution for those that travel. My one-on-one meetings with Nomad and then Oui when visiting Amsterdam covered a lot of ground.

It goes without saying that anyone visiting Finland should drop me a line. The Man from Lyons did just that and we had a super chatty lunch about OR - among many other subjects.
