I'm now working for a group out of Plano, doing primarily front-end work for mobile and online banking for credit unions. Time for me to get involved in the local user groups!

You probably want to gmail me if you need me directly. If I have to tell you what gmail address to guess at, you're not trying hard enough.

Aug 19	comment	Should we encourage participants to complete their Signals Bio? Will this information help formulate a site strategy? I see your point, but encouraging them to fill that out is not going to help us. What we need is for them to participate on meta and help us nail it down in the threads here.
Aug 19	comment	How can I merge tags? Touche good sir

Aug 19	comment	How can I merge tags? Also flags. Why does everyone run to meta instead of flagging. :p (yes yes, three whole Qs)

Aug 19	comment	Should we postpone the automatic public beta until most “expert level committers” have registered with the site? I definitely agree that we need a bit more time in private beta to establish the site better. I wish I had known some things from after the dba.se launch to apply to the beginnings of dba.se so that I could've gotten the NoSQL crowd more involved on the site too.

Aug 18	revised	What should our FAQ contain? added 32 characters in body
Aug 17	comment	Don't forget about the chat? lol, and I know!
Aug 17	comment	How do we promote the site? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make it that you were implying that was the only way, I was offering a counterpoint. Yes, most of the people on the internet are on social networks, so social network growth and outreach is a great way to get people's attention in the first place.
Aug 17	comment	We're going to need a distinct look / theme Yeah, I agree thinking about it now will really help things along.
Aug 17	comment	How do we promote the site? Yup, but that only gets the ones on the social networks. Sometimes you need to reach the print-press-only crowd, which this group is going to have more of. Also the likes of the MAKE crowd (makers are awesome people)
Aug 17	comment	What’s the “elevator pitch” for our site? Dont only focus on the tagline but also a short paragraph about the purpose of the site.

Aug 17	comment	What is our stance on “Where can I find code for x?” `We are here to be the source of content, not a place to find links.` well said

Aug 16	comment	What should our FAQ contain? It only means that I've recently done the growing pains on another site, so know the things to ask today ;)
Aug 16	comment	Should we re-ask questions that were asked on other sites? Good point Kevin! Only if they're off-topic on their own sites.
