To all DC Liferay enthusiasts:

I am writing this to gauge interest; in a 2015 meetup meeting.

How important is it to you to be a user group participant? Reply to be a group participant!

Tai Ton That and I have met up before; and I've met up with others before too; but it has been too long since we all met.

Yes I am interested - been 2 years sine the one I arranged in Ballston.
I've been very busy and now on contract in South West DC.

Bijan,

It was good to talk with you.

I think that we should plan on having the users group meeting during the 2nd or 3rd week of April depending on when the most people are available.

Whomever we get to sponsor this, Liferay will be in attendance to talk about "what's new." And we will have an agenda out well in advance.

I can work on getting us a place to meet in the DC area near a metro stop.

Do you think people able to do a meet up in a conference space say on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday during lunch? Or are there other times that are better.

Johnnie, pleasure speaking with you as well.

When?
Anytime works for me with prior note; as for others, I'll let them make it known; so David and Tiggy, what do you think? Can you make it on a weekday at lunch? Somewhere near DC metro station; when warmer weather comes in mid-April.

What?
As far as content of the first meetup; I suggest we have 2 main in-depth talks; each about 20 minutes at the most; and 10 minutes for questions and answers; followed by 10 minutes intermission; and lastly a few lightning talk rounds; each no more than 5 minutes at the most; with a couple minutes intermission.
An agenda would be nice to have first; it can help us peak people's interest; e.g. when we're telling colleagues to come.

Who?
Let's gather a list of confirmed people; people who are guaranteed to attend; so we have a core group to cater to. If anyone's interested, say so!

Why?
Use cases and new features coming up; as well as networking with other folks.

How?
Per Johnnie, through a Sponsorship; to provide place and perks for attending. As backup plan, we have more venues too; but best to have fully-equipped venue.

Once we have more details, let's share here; so it's clear for all who want to come.
