I am interested in starting a Xojo User/Developer Group in the NY Metro area.
I am in Dutchess County, NY - approximately one hour north of NYC and would be interested in starting a user group with Xojo developers within the NYC metro area (including North Jersey and Connecticut).
If some responses are any indication, a Hudson Valley group separate from a NYC-Metro group could work out really well. This could easily cover Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Bergen, Parts of Westchester, and Southwest CT.
I’m in Orange County (Warwick NY) and would definitely for something like this.
Hudson Valley group might work out to be about 90 minutes from Hartford (for example, near Route 84 and Taconic State Parkway). Is that out of reach for you?
Danbury would be acceptable for me, though I can’t make any promises due to family schedules. Basically, don’t let me be a deciding factor. If the stars align and I can attend, I will.
Another factor to consider though is traffic. I-84 around Danbury is hell pretty much all daylight hours. Practically impassible during rush hours.
Just saying - the permanent meeting place does not have to be determined from Day 1. The first meeting can be in Mt. Kisco (for example) and if it turns out another area would suit more members, we can change it. I would like to see as many people as possible participate.
Sign me up! May I suggest a meeting place somewhere in CT (New Haven perhaps) which can be easily reached by train. I will be in Syracuse NY soon, so access by train is important for me.
