Raleigh bloggers tonight and a proposed change

Looks like we're going to have a pretty good turn-out for the Raleigh bloggers meet-up tonight (7PM at Raleigh Times) with Pat Mueller, Jackson Fox, Wayne Sutton, Michael Kimsal and perhaps even Mister Sugar himself planning to show up. That's a little unusual because attendance has been pretty spotty recently. In fact, last time it was just Pat and I sipping pints outside of the Raleigh Times Bar.

Pat proposed that we rename, refocus and relocate the Raleigh Bloggers meet-up. He suggested that we admit our geek nature by renaming it the "RTP Blogging Code Monkeys Meet-up." Also that we move it to the RTP area so it's convenient to folks from all three corners of the Triangle. I'm ready for a change and declining attendance is a drag, so I'm a big +1 on that. I suggested that we be more inclusive to non-bloggers with a blurb like this:

RTP dev/blogger meet-up. Come and chat about software development and web-technologies with Triangle-area code monkeys and bloggers.

Interested? If so, subscribe to the BlogTogether mailing lists for further updates.

There seems to be a problem with blogapps-server-2.0. The server can not be started with startup.bat. Checked that there is no space in any env variables. Using JDK1.6.0_02. Fall back to blogapps-server-1.0.4 and it works. Any help will be helpful

That's totally off topic, but thanks for the report. I'm aware of the issue and working on a new rev that will fix it and update the Atom protocol support. I'll test on Windows this time, I promise ;-)

http://raleighwebtech.ning.com is a site I set up to be a host for this sort of this. Does anyone have any reaction (good or bad) to using this as a new meeting group for a web-focused tech group?

Sounds like a good idea to me Michael. I've been meaning to create an account and poke around there.
