It's that time of year again when we should stop and reflect on the year that was. This year saw the launch of "Nerds of a feather" or "Coast Nerds" as it has become more affectionately known. Back in
August we had our first meeting to discuss our goals for the community. Since then we have had three monthly meetings with excellent presentations from local IT professionals.
We would like to thank all the presenters for their very insightful presentations. Also we would like to thank all those who attended for providing useful feedback and informative discussion. Our primary goal has been to learn from one another and I think we have certainly achieved that.
No Meeting in December
As discussed at the last meeting we will not be holding a meet-up event in December due to its close proximity to Christmas and people's vacation time.
What's Next?
We are aiming to be bigger and better next year. To do that we need to reflect on our journey so far and work out what we can do better. Hmm... sounds like it's time for a retrospective.
So we ask...
- What are we doing well?
- What can we do better?
- What actions should we take?
Think about these questions. Write down your answers. Respond to the
google group. We will meet up on Tuesday 18th January to discuss these. On that noe we would like to get an idea who will be attending in January considering that it may still be vacation time for some.
Until then, Merry Christmas!
