Well, CE conference was planned and we got very good response to it initially. However considering that we had a global audience, we could not host it on a proper time. Finally very few people turned up.
Conferences are of course good meeting points and very good means to get to know each other. Apart from that, the off line meets as CE mentioned was also discussed and during last conference. In fact we had an unofficial conference some time back, limited only to the editorial committee.
This is a good idea to form city specific CE clubs. Can you come up with good suggestion?
