Re: RE: More about the changes coming to tech writing

   In the Boston area, Meetups for technical interest groups are huge, and
   the ones I've been to are bursting at the seams -- with a very young
   crowd. Despite the attractions of webinars, texting, Skype, etc., the
   rooms are full and people really seem to enjoy being together.
   I'd add that the meetups are free, usually pizza and beer are provided,
   and the locations tend to be urban. People can get to them using the
   bus and subway, or by riding their bikes once the Boston winter goes
   away. Often the location is the meeting room of a headhunting company
   that is looking for talent in that technical area.
   People really like getting together, even in this digital age.
   I often think about how to merge that age group and mind set with the
   STC mindset, a lot of which was formed in the boom years of the 80s and
   90s.
   My two cents.
