Post meetup
How did you guys think of this very disorganised meetup? Sorry for the inconvenience, but we should be more organised and plan things well in future, so there won't be any problems or miscommunication in future. We shall see how the next time. --Ter e nce Ong (C 17:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update of the page.


 * Yes, perhaps we should have explicitly set the venue to be Pacific Coffee Company, the meeting place HarbourFront MRT Station, the meeting time 3.00 pm yesterday, a week before the meeting. Is it so difficult to decide on the details of the meetup? Not really. However, indecisiveness and the desire for democratic selection of the venue, meeting places, etc wound up preventing us from making a decision.


 * In fact, we were so utterly disorganised that the fact that a meeting eventually took place could be counted as a miracle. &mdash;Goh wz 06:49, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

In future
When will we meet again, we shall see... Whoever wants to create this current red link, please do so. I think we need to have the next meetup on the weekend so we will have more people turning up. Agree? --Ter e nce Ong (C 17:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yep. &mdash;Goh wz 06:49, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
