There is nothing to stop a group of enthusiasts starting a group in Sydney, we would still assist when and wherever possible.

Yes I am interested........but from Central QLD a bit difficult for me, maybe Brisbane.

Cheers

I'm interested, and I am in Melbourne!

I am interested and I am in Brisbane.
Regarding "the tyrrany of distance" would it be possible to co-ordinate the get together through this forum, even extend the invitation to participate "live" at meetings by conferencing?
I don't know that much about computers, live chats etc but I am sure there are plenty of forum members here who could post a solution
Keep me informed.

BTW, woodpecker, where can I get more bolts and nuts for my incra fence?

I'd be keen too!

Count me in.
I am sick of just making firewood, and would welcome a forum (face to face, hands on), where techniques could be learned / passed on.

...Or maybe even somewhere in S.E. QLD

me too, i'd be interested, even as only a virtual member in Adelaide.

the video conferencing thing might work, there's probably a few net savvy incra users out there.

What about Skype or MSN Messenger or Trillian? I know you can conference with Skype and you can you a webcam not sure about the others.

The virtual thing would be good if it could be done. Even a video of the meetings to be veiwed later?

Maybe a blogg?

For the virtual side of things there's all sorts of options. Probably the best would be for groups to meet, and video of the techniques etc put up on the torrents. There is facilities for podcasts (vidcasts) in this new bb software, and I need to learn how to use it for work anyway, so it will be very likely that we could produce podcasts to keep people up-to-date. (You can view podcasts on a computer too, so those that don't have a modern iPod will still be able to see them).

I have worked with other online methods as well for live interstate lectures, so there is another option.

Once we start meeting, we can play with a few until we settle on one that everyone likes. In some ways, having the video go out as vidcast / torrent is easiest - no need to synchronise watches etc. And those interstate can meet as well, and send video back. (Even as individuals - showing techniques, problems etc)

The important thing is to start meeting (and even more importantly - start using the Incras to make sawdust, and hopefully get some results!!)

easy does it Stu, I can make sawdust by the bucket load, something with results - well thats another matter LOL and as for techniques, well that a whole different ballgame again !

Note to self - remember to measure twice, measure once again, cut once

good idea re the podcast/ vidcast though, another option might be youtube.com ?

with my new wizz bang camera I can even do videos now - scary

cheers
