Please reply if you live in Maryland. If there are enough people, we should start binrev meetings in Maryland. We will share ideas, hack, and have fun.

[mubix]

I live in NOVA and the District's 2600 meetings no longer exist, so I would be open to suggestions.

[DarkShadow]

Shit, thats like an hour away. I guess we need more people before we determine the location. I am in Rockville.

[mubix]

The key to getting people is getting the word out.

[DarkShadow]

Bump. There has to be more than 2 hackers in MD... Come on, show yourselves!

[theMaxx]

I'm in DC. I bet a could drag along a friend. But I don't have a car...
How about a meeting close to a metro stop? or a comm rail stop?

[DarkShadow]

Good, four people so far and growing. Based on the current member locations, I suggest the following general area for the meeting.

However, I suggest we get more people before we make a final decision. Spread the word guys.

[TheBlue]

I'm in Bethesda, within walking distance of Metro.

How about dinner meetings in Union Station? It's got a metro stop, and a *massive* food court.

[DarkShadow]

Union Station certainly seems like a good place for a meeting. I would definatley try to make meetings and bring back MD into the BR/2600 meeting activity.

Great, our roster is expanding . Do you guys prefer any specific place in Union Station ( cafes, bookstores, ... [check my previous post for more details])

We should also start thinking about when we want to start the meetings. I am thinking like 3rd Friday of May... some time between 5:30 and 8:00.

[theMaxx]

I'm down for anywhere, Union Station. Although I should note I'll be out of town as of May 10th...

[DarkShadow]

Well the third Friday of May is the 18th. If you are still out of town, we can make it the 25th.

[theMaxx]

I should clarify; I'm attending American University and exams end on the 9th. After that, I'm headed to sweet home Massachusetts. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it would probably make more sense to forget about me and schedule according to the convenience of the people that can actually show up.

[DarkShadow]

Well I guess the only thing we need to do now is to determine what you want to do at the meeting (presentations, wardriving, discussions, ...) and what cafe/restaurant/whatever in Union Station you want to meet/eat.

So far we have agreed upon:

1) General Place: Union Station DC
2) Date: May 18, 2007
3) Time: between 5:30 - 8:00 (exact time will be determined closer to the meeting)
4) Current Members:

I am in Cockeysville....kinda far away from all you guys.... I might be able to come to some meetings though.

[mubix]

Union Station is rather large. I have set up a gmail account and a phone number that people can call once they are there to get the location of the meeting.

binrev.dc@gmail.com
202-658-7730
and of course if you have Google Talk you can IM questions

You can also call this number or email that box for information regarding the meetings

Unfortunately, I just found out that the show I am working on right now added a performance that night, so I probibly won't be able to make it for this time, but I will try to get a sub.
