Meetup

Wowsers. So the OT blogosphere has really taken off over the past few months. Without a doubt this is pretty much down to Merrolee's group in New Zealand but also to student's and of course a few bods like James Lamport Housing-OT Blog and Chris' ABC Therapeutics Blog in the States.

Merrolee and I were talking on GTalk just the other night and discussing ways on broadening the blogosphere / getting methods on us all talking to each other. Then something struck me. In a lot of other communities on the net these various bloggers and community members get together once in a while - yes, actually get away from a computer! Call it a meetup, blogmeet - whatever. I can't accommodate the world (although hey, your all invited!) so I have setup a upcoming group for anyone to join titled "OT's On The Net - UK" and in the upcoming future (like it?) I will organise a suitable venue/date to have a beverage and a chat. So, if your in the UK and reading this.. thinking of starting a Blog, contributing to the net in someway and your an OT (or student OT) then add yourself to the group to be informed of when/where!

Update I stupidly forgot to post the URL in the first revision of this post. To add yourself go to : http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/3203/ (It's a yahoo application so you will need to join yahoo )

(Thanks Merrolee)

UPDATE (2) See the forum on the meetup page for some inital thoughts of this meeting and please give me your feedback! http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/topic/1716/
