I'm sorry to say we've decided to shut down the Collaboration SIG, barely a year after we kicked it off. While we had some amazing speakers, truly interactive sessions, and healthy turnouts, in the end producing and promoting a monthly event proved more than our collective schedules could handle.
So what to do now? When do we get to go out and shoot the shirt about collaboration?
Eugene and I were talking and and couldn't come up with the answer. But we did decide there was only one way to come up with something: go drinking and figure it out. So we're heading to Zeitgeist this Tuesday (10/3, 7:30p) to enjoy the outdoor patio, various refreshments, and maybe even ... talk about collaboration.
Come join us if you want to hang out and talk shop -- we'll be in the back at a picnic table.
Oh yeah, since we're fans of barcamps and the like, and we will be having an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment that involves drinking, we've decided to call our little activity a BarBar. (And no, we won't be playing the web 2.0 drinking game...)
Hope to see you there.
Nice! That was fun. Seven of us, including a few Atlassian and Socialtext compatriots, enjoyed a beautiful Zeitgeist-kind-of-evening. Eugene posted a couple pics and a wrap of what went down: http://www.eekim.com/blog/2006/10/04/barbarredux.
Thanks for coming out -- let's do it again and spread the good word.
