2007 2E/Plex Event Cincinnati USA

20th September 2007
Hoffbrauhaus Newport, KY USA

It's time again for Plex and 2E developers from around the globe to gather together for the annual worldwide event.

This year the event is hosted by the Ohio Valley Plex/2E Developers User Group who have done a wonderful job in preparing what promises to be the best meeting yet!

Dinner on Thursday night will be held at theHoffbrauhaus in Newport, KY, approximately 2 miles from the conference hotel.

After dinner the Barman will be in residence at the brauhaus to provide that authentic Plex In The City atmosphere.  Just look out for the Plex In The City logo and you will be well looked after.

If you have never attended a Plex In The City event before, make sure that you don't miss out on this one!  Last year in Austin was truly memorable for everyone, and 2007 promises to attract an even bigger crowd.

 We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting some new faces.

European Partnership

27th June 2007 - Windsor

It's been a few years since a PITC hosted our continental Plex cousins.  So it's good to know that large numbers will be visiting the CA offices next week.

To offer a warm welcome there will be a Plex In The City held on Wednesday 27th June in Windsor from 6:30pm onwards.

An appropriate royal venue has been suggested, The King And Castle.

A Right Royal Affair

12th May 2006
The Two Brewers, Windsor

Royal Windsor was awash with programming talent on Friday night.  Surrounded by the decor of a quaint English pub, the cream of the Plex and 2e world let the good times roll.

The gathering was given Royal patronage by H.R.H. Princess Anne.  As she sped past Bill and Daniel she waved and was heard to say "Give one's regards to The Barman". That is what they told me at any rate.

A notable mention goes to Julie Weston, who returned to the family bringing with her lashes of Synon spirit. Well done Julie!

Until next time...

2006 Plex/2e event Austin TX. USA

20th April 2006

Plex In The City follows the London regulars to Austin, TX. for the 2nd Annual AllFusion Plex and 2E Worldwide Users Event.

If you are attending the conference then come and join us after dinner in The Ginger Man.  How about starting at 9pm?

The Ginger Man

304 West 4th Street

Austin, Texas 78701

(512) 473-8801

 

Thanks to all who came along to the conference Plex In The City.

Thanks to the PITC regulars for a strong turnout.  Thanks to those of you new to PITC, you fitted right in and looked like you had a good time.  The Ginger Man was a great choice, thanks to the people from ADC who suggested it.

Those of you lucky enough to get your hands on a limited edition PITC t-shirt, take very good care of it.  If you didn't get one this time (but put in the hard work required) we'll have some more to give away next time we visit.

See you at the next event on the 12th of May.

All Bar Cannon Street

Come and join in...
27th May 2005

The next PITC is scheduled for the end of May. We will be at All Bar One, opposite Cannon Street station.  See you all there.
In the meantime take a look at the happenings from the 7th of April.

Bar-Cam

PITC returned to Cannon Street for the first meeting of 2005.

While the rain fell on commuters outside the window, Plex developers relaxed and caught up with the happenings around the city.

Spring had sprung for the Barman who produced his trusty Bar-Cam to capture these (fuzzy) images.

For those of you who couldn't make it on the evening, the magic of Bar-Cam has produced a virtual All Bar One.  Order a drink and relax, it's just like being there.

Looking forward to next time.

Old friends & new faces

The December Plex in the City reunited some long absent Plexers with the PITC family.

Of particular mention is Mr G Jeffcock (pictured left), a founder member of PITC who returns with a wonderful tan from his time in Bermuda.  Nice to see you George.

Thanks also to the new faces for making the trip, hope that you enjoyed yourselves.

Next PITC will be some time in February.  Probably.

Jingle in the city

It's time to wrap up the year with a Plex In The City.

Date : Wednesday 8th December
Venue : The Harcout Arms  Directions...

This is a pub with a strong Swedish theme which is welcoming and comfortable, just right for a PITC.

It's close to several tube stations around Baker Street so you'll all be ok to get home.

See you there from 6'ish.

Feedback

email is awesome!

The Barman has received a sack load of messages following the recent PITC at the Monkey Puzzle.

Thank you to "valoos" for sending his question;

" I'm curious to know who is who, I'm always reading posts on edge user group, would like to put a face to those names. "

Valoos, most of us can't remember our own names after attending a Plex In The City, let alone who was who.  Sorry about that, perhaps we will have to try and address this problem at a future gathering.

Bill Hunt was on the ball though, he has sent us a list of the nationalities attending the most recent PITC;

"For the record, we had representation last night from:

• - UK
• - USA
• - Switzerland
• - Finland
• - Sweden
• - Denmark
• - Germany
• - Spain
• - Portugal
• - Slovenia
• - Italy
• - Iceland

Looking forward to next time - I'll try to make it back in September... Bill"

Good work Bill, hope to see you inthe city very soon.

Finally, one Plexer who could not make it to this PITC sent us an email and some photos.  She is the white crayon in the picture.

"I have to ask William Hunt to take me with him next time he visits you guys. You guys need more women developers over there.

Nice party.

Eniko"

Everyone is welcome at PITC, so we hope to see you next time Eniko.

Keep the emails coming in, it gives the Barman something to do when it is quiet.
There will be another Plex In The City gathering very soon.

Monkey Puzzle

High Spirits

A huge number of Plex developers battled the elements to attend the April PITC at the Monkey Puzzle.  The happy crowd was joined by Plex people from across Europe and cheerful CA staff.

Pictures of the evening can be seen here.  If you want to put names to the faces drop the Barman an email

Legend

It was also the first time for some of us to meet the enigmatic Chuck Maggot.  Chuck made a very rare public appearance, and requested "no photos, no autographs".  We were able to snap this profile of the great man without arousing his suspicion.

Recovered

Classic PITC Behavior.

With the usual selection of ale, larger, stout and cider dedicated Plex In The City delegates applied themselves to the task of putting the world to rights last Wednesday night.

The photos of the evening are here now.  That's not all, we are pleased to bring you a real scoop.  "Plex In The City : The Movie"

***Breaking News***Breaking News***Breaking News***

PTIC has received a message from Mr Bill Hunt.  Not only is Bill a nice American chap but he also has a company credit card and a liking for London's finest curry.  This could have the makings of a mighty pan-european get together at the end of April.

More plans closer to the time.

Hi Barman, 

We are holding Plex 5.5 training in the UK for our distributors
throughout Europe the week of 26-April.  As such there will be a
sizeable contingency of Plex people from all over Europe there for a few
days (and me as well - I'm coming over the pond to help deliver this
training).  

I'd like to organize a PITC for either Monday 26th, Tuesday 27th, or
Wednesday 28th of April.  Can you help me figure out what day would work
best of the three and help me get this together?  

Hope you guys had fun at the Griffin; sorry I missed it.  Maybe that
venue would work again but feel free to suggest something else and let
me know.  Of course when I'm involved it usually means something
reasonably close to Brick Lane is always good! :-)

Hope to see you in April.  

Best,

Bill Hunt 
Product Manager 
Computer Associates

Start the year right!

It didn't take long for PITC regulars to request a meeting.

There are some Plex projects out there with tough deadlines right now and the pressure is starting to bite.  What better way to stay on top of things than to have a drink and a chat with people who are on your side?

If you haven't been to a Plex In The City event before why not drop in to the first one for 2004, everyone is welcome.

Wednesday 18th February - The Griffin.

A New Year

Whatever goes on this year everyone can relax at Plex In The City.

Happy New Year to you all.

January is a recovery month for most of us, but you can be sure that someone will suggest a get together before too long.

In the meantime we can all keep busy by fielding the hundreds calls from recruitment agents offering us exciting projects at fantastic hourly rates.  If that isn't happening to you then there is always the last of the Sherry to be drunk.

See you all soon...

Good Times

Turning out in large numbers, dedicated Plex developers took time to let their hair down in central London on Thursday night.

Traveling from near and far, old friends were reunited and new faces were welcomed to the party.

You can see from the picture that Paul had a good time, but what else went on?

It's December

Will YOU be there?

The gent's at Macmillan are getting worried that they will be the only ones at the Griffin on Thursday 4th December.

PlexInTheCity.org will be there to record the high powered discussions for future generations, and it looks like some other regular faces have confirmed too.

See you all there, any time after 6pm.

Communications

Nice to hear from you!

It is always nice to receive messages here @PlexInTheCity.org, particularly when it is someone that has not been around for a while.

So, we welcome back Mr. Mark Hill, who was last seen by us at a Plex In the City near London Victoria Station.  That was before they were even called "Plex in the City".  That is a long time ago.

We hope that he returns from his around the world adventures to the warmth of the PITC family in time for the next bash on Thursday 4th December in The Griffin.

Mark's wit is as sharp as ever, and has contributed these suggestions to our happy band.  Quote;
"
So what's the strapline going to be, 'drinkers with a coding problem', 'drinkers with a predisposition to inheritance', 'the drinking class'...
"
Surely we don't need cheap slogans at a PITC?  Just some light conversation, a few drinks and some close up magic tricks!

Not long to go...

Fully Operational

All systems are go!

The next get together is planned for Thursday 4th December in The Griffin.

Our regular address is now active across the web, so make sure you bookmark us.
The mail server is also configured, you can send feedback to info@plexinthecity.org

We are looking for more input for the history section, and perhaps some photos.  I remember seeing a camera at least once.  Send any suggestions to the man who runs this place.

Don't forget suggestions for venues always welcome.

Get some face time

What's going on here?

A web site for Plex In The City, what for?

Plex developers in London have been getting together for after works drinks for several years now.  This web site will tell you how it all started and keep you up to date with future events.

If you want to know how this all began then take a look at the History section.

See you at the next PITC.
