Thanks _g3k! The only thing that concerns me about that server is that it isn't neutral territory. From what I understand, #dc-forums is over on EFNet, so that might be a better venue for this.

Right on, either way, I'll be in both.

edit: and yes, I have way to much time on my hands at work and I reply with lightning speed.

abyssknight, I live an hour and a half from Orlando, but I'd be willing to help in any way that I can. A lot of #orlando Anonymous hang out on irc.helldive.org #orlando and I know that a few of them were interested in attending a DCG meeting, we were actually going to try to start a DC386, but it's been a failure. I can start a channell at helldive for DC407 and we can hang out in there to talk logistics if you want.

edit: I created #dc407 on irc.helldive.org

Let's get a meeting together for February 2010. Feel free to suggest venues, dates and times. If you're in the Orlando area and even remotely interested, drop me a PM or post here.

I've gone ahead and emailed the dcgroups admins to get our group reactivated, and begun work on the DC407 site. I have email and calendars set up and I'm working on getting the actual site set up. If you'd like a DC407 email/apps account just let me know. We have 50 to hand out with the free version of Google Apps.
...

If you decide to setup your own forums, you can let us know and we can lock this forum, and leave a redirection to your forum for new users to find. If you want to create a direct link to this forum for the forum for your DCG, you can do that too. I just want to let you know that we do not impose a requirement that you use the Defcon forums to host your DCG forums. These forums only exist for people to find DCG, and discuss DCG if/when a DCG is inactive or non-responsive. Several groups that had their own forums decided the spam and maintenance wasn't worth their time, and just pointed to us. Some are active enough with enough members that they feel having their own forums is justified, and we make Defcon Forum links to their DCG discussion forum a link to their own hosted forum awa from forum.defcon.org.

Good luck with your DCG.

I'll start PMing, emailing and otherwise bothering the people I know here in town who might be interested. DC407 has been inactive since 2006, let's make sure that changes in 2010.

As far as time and place, I'm near downtown Orlando so Stardust, Red Light Red Light, as well as Blue Jacket Park would be close by. For times, I'm a working stiff, so it'd have to be after 5:30pm on weekdays, but my Saturdays are pretty open. I'd like to avoid conflicts with the other user groups (i.e. 2600, OPUG, ORUG, CocoaHeads, etc.) if possible.

I'll update the below information once a time and place are finalized.

Date: February 26th, 2010
Time: 7:00 PM ET
Location: Stardust Video & Coffee
Agenda: First meeting and opportunity to figure out what we want to do with the group. Future meeting planning, con-going logistics, etc.
