First meeting of the RHS
The Rudolph Hering Society had its first meeting last night, at the Lincoln Lodge. Around 15 or so people showed up. The meeting went really well. It was pretty free-form, which I actually prefer to the sit down and watch a presentation style of meeting. Not that there’s anything necessarily wrong with having a projector and a laptop, but not having it is pretty freeing.
I’m really happy with how well the RHS concept has taken off. People are being really talky on mailing list, everyone is open to new ideas and learning from one another. Like Jason says, the idea of a non-language-specific Chicago group has been kicking around the after-user-group beer chats at ChiPy, ChiRb, and ChiCagoDotPm for a while now, it’s exciting that it finally happened, and clearly has an audience.
