Comment on Is Groupon a great way to save or simply spam? by Rachel

Groupon is spam, plain and simple. Despite never having expressed an interest in what they’re selling, I received ‘offers’ persistently from the morons, until I was eventually forced to complain to the ICO to get them to stop.

I have now told the filter team about all of the above. They are very interested – and I hope you will see some of us at the next event.

I still think there is room for a purely social gathering of people who work in tech and live/work in Bath. I will set the dates well a part from bathcamp so that there is no conflict and see how it goes. I am happy/keen to help out if you want anything done promotion wise for bathcamp and bathdigital.com. Just shout.

Sounds good.
I would love to come to the 2nd Feb Bathcamp, but have to babysit that night (ah, the exciting life I lead).
So, I will hopefully be able to make the next one.

Oh, also – forgot to mention http://thedigitality.info/ – a discussion group we’ve just set up for just the types you’re talking about.

In terms of the audience and content (sorry, I’d missed Tim’s comment and your followup) – Bathcamp isn’t purely geeky. Previous topics have included lots on design, usability, Getting Things Done, Cymatics, mobile. Future topics include things like a startup night, Dragon’s Den style ideas head to head, etc. Basically anyone with something interesting to say is welcome.

Oh, and we head for beers afterwards..

Keiran got there first, but http://bathcamp.org is a regular meetup along the lines you’ve talked about. There are a few others – we’re just in the throws of launching http://bathdigital.com as a place to gather them all together.

Come along to Bathcamp, it’d be good to chat – next one is on Weds 2nd Feb – details at http://bathcamp.org/2011/01/12/bathcamp-20//

Hi Tim,
The aim here was to have a more social gathering of people who work in tech – to meet other people in a similar industry. I wanted it to include executives/entrepreneurs as well as designers, developers and engineers.

The focus is more on the social and networking aspects rather than on tech discussions.
By doing this, my thinking is that the social group this will create could generate new ideas and collaborations. And if not, it would simply be a fun bunch of people to spend 2 hours with.

Morning, how technical are your meetings planning to be? If it’s a mix of designer through to language geeks I’d suggest bathcamp will be a better more established crowd.

There are a few of us very geeky people who just started a developer meetup group last week. Are the groups orthogonal or solving the same need in your opinion? If it’s the same (devs talking tech) then perhaps we should collaborate.

Cheers, Tim
