Hi All,
I've just been in touch with Kingsley Hendrickse who's
unfortunately not going to have time to organise the London D
Programmer meetups in the future. Which is a real shame - I only
attended one of the two meetups but I was quite impressed with the
calibre of people that turned up, and Kinglsey did a great job of
organising it :-)
I'd really hate for this initiative to die off just as it was
getting going. So I thought I'd just ping the London community
and see
if there was any appetite for anyone to pick up the baton, so to
speak. Normally I'd just say "I'll do it" but I'm on the verge of
beginning a new job (literally starting tomorrow!), so I need to
wait
until I'm achieved some sort of equilibrium there before I commit
to
anything else.
One thought I had was maybe a 'rolling' organiser would make
sense?
Committing to organising one meetup is a far less onerous
commitment
than becoming a full fledged card-carrying organiser so maybe that
would make sense?! I'd quite happily commit to organising one
meetup
if there was a rotating quorum of organisers willing to step up. (
Probably wouldn't do any harm to the old linked-in profile :-) ).
Anyway lets know your thoughts. The meetup group 'dies' on 17th
August unless someone else steps up - hopefully that won't happen
:-)
Cheers,
Andy.

Hi Andy.
Kingsley did a great job, but it's a tough thing to keep going as
professional and personal demands increase. It's important for D
to have a presence in London, and being more involved probably
pays for itself careerwise in the end, one way or the other. We
should definitely strive to keep things going. I can't do much
the next few weeks, and can't make a firm regular commitment as
it's hard to predict other demands. But if it's needed I will
definitely do one, and try to do so again from time to time.
Laeeth.

Yes, I am aware of that. I was thinking of volunteering for some time, with help of others. We have a healthy D community here in London and we should work on making it bigger. Cheers!
