I want to extend my humblest apologies to those of you who attended last night's Seattle FMPug meeting!
Due to cut backs in staff and our current WaMu contact being out ill, the list of registered attendees did not make it to the security desk in order for us to get admission to the room. The room was scheduled and available for our meeting, as was graciously set up for us by Dan Wilton (formerly at WaMu, now at Entellic) a few months back.
I would like to thank our presenter, Richard Carlton (Richard Carlton Consulting), and William for their patience and understanding in our search for a new meeting space! And for their presentation and open Q & A discussion around all things FileMaker and ESS. A terrific bunch of folks at Richard Carlton Consulting.
I'd also like to thank those that came to the rescue with positive, problem solving suggestions: Ruth Johnson (Teague), for pointing us in the direction of the Benyroya Hall for some ad-hoc meeting space; The man at Benyroya (sorry, name unknown) for letting us stay past their closing, Dan Wilton for trying to locate someone at WaMu that could arrange entry to their meeting room for us; Mike Ross (Digital Designs) for trying to get us a room at the Apple Store (currently being remodeled...), and Angelo Luchi (SolutionMakers) for making a last minute accessory run for a power strip. And, of course, to the other attendees for putting up with the chaos of the room change. This group is awesome!
We have made some checkpoints and guidelines to assure that this does not happen again.
I invite your feedback and input on how we can make the Seattle FMPug a more rewarding and enriching group! Do we need to look at changing venues, dates, days of the week, geographic locations, topic format or anything else? This is your group - let's make it GREAT!
Please email or call me with your ideas or suggestions. And I look forward to seeing more of you at our September meeting when Vincenzo Menanno (FMNexus) presents!
Best regards,
Laura Bowyer
