Registered as long as there's no scheduling conflict I can't fix.

Great response!

Are there any days of the week ppl are definitely apposed to?

I'm available Thusday this week, but can't make it any other day.


Mervin

only no go for me is this Friday afternoon.
Eddie

It definitely won't be this week, as we need some planning for the church and ourselves.

Friday is good for me. Monday to Thursday is okay.

if it's a small group (approx 10 people as it seems to be currently)
and we don't want to arrange for cost / booking of a church, I can host people in our office boardroom... (connectivity shouldn't be an issue, big screen to project to etc)

keep it in mind as an option.

c

That sounds totally feasable

where bouts in the city is your office located?

Will there be a projector at this? I don't have a laptop, but wouldn't mind following along.

office is at front / spadina neighbourhood

and yes there is a screen and connectivity cables...although im a dork at setting up for meetings and get the building maintenance guys to set up for me... (god i love them)

only catch is i need everyone to be in in advance, cuz i need to provide an attendee list for security purposes. cafeteria ($) on site for juice pop etc.

Somewhere close to Union is preferred for me, I'm commuting by the GO Slow train from Burlington.

I would love to attend, but I can only make it Friday or Monday. The rest of the week I work till late. Thanks.

I won't register yet, but the office location would be great as following along on a projector would be nice for people who don't bring laptops.

I'll wait til dates and everything are confirmed and see how it matches my schedule.

How is Thursday evening? not this one, but the next?

so May 13th? 6:30pm?

May 13th is good for me.

Thursday the 13th at 6:30p works for me.
Has the location been determined? (church or office)

well, we would prefer office, but we'll wait to hear back from Figs if the date is cool

Then we can finalize the guest list too

I'm in for the 13th of May @ 6:30pm

That should work for me.

I am good for May 13 too..

May 13 good for me too.

hey guys.

I am avaialable for the 13th.... HOWEVER, sticky security is asking questions, and I need to get signed approval for this event... so the board room offer isn't in the bag yet...sorry.

Especially now that it's 15 people....hmmm

They need to know:
start and end time
Whether it's a one time event or whether we are looking at a series
Number of people

As soon as I get your response I will put the request through. thanks

Any idea how long the session will take? May 13th is good for me too.

I think max the session will take 2 hours... including some shooting that everyone can do.

its much easier to work with LR than just to watch it.

so 6:30 to 9 ( to be safe )

capping at 16 people?

one time session?

Well, i don't mind make it a few sessions, but I'm not sure if anyone wants to hear me drone on that long

Maybe we can make another session dedicated to other techniques and presets, and workflow, since they can be large topics.

How about 2 sessions, 2 weeks apart.

I can't make it that day so I am dropping out to free a slot for another deserving Lightroom newbie.

Here's my confirmation: May 13th is fine with me
