I live in TROY! * [George](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgegecewicz/) * (@georgegecewicz) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125899) * Hey guys, I’m down! I live right next to Albany 🙂 * [overcranked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/overcranked/) * (@overcranked) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125900) * Alright now we are getting somewhere! who else * [Damon Cook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colorful-tones/) * (@colorful-tones) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125905) * I live in Glens Falls, but might come down for a meetup. Was thinking of starting something up here? Keep me posted… * [George](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgegecewicz/) * (@georgegecewicz) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125908) * Yeah it’d be cool to meet up and sort of get a little local thing going…there aren’t many web design shops out here I think it’d be cool to have a little community. * [Damon Cook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colorful-tones/) * (@colorful-tones) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125910) * I’ve bought a domain name to make this official: [upstatewp.com](http://upstatewp.com) * Should we set a date for first meetup? Say Wed., Sept. 7? We will need a place to meet. Anyone have a large space they can volunteer to host at? I’d offer my studio, but don’t know if everybody from Albany area would want to trek all the way up to Glens Falls? * [George](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgegecewicz/) * (@georgegecewicz) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125911) * Cool. I agree that Glens Falls is a bit of a trek… * Maybe something actually in the city of Albany would be best. There’s an awesome coffee shop on Hudson & Quail that has good Internet (and great coffee). There are a few cafes in Stuyvesant Plaza that would be great for this, too. * [Damon Cook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colorful-tones/) * (@colorful-tones) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125912) * Coffee shop sounds fine to me. Is [@overcranked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/overcranked/) or [@growthop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/growthop/) still interested I wonder? * [@george](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george/), you think I should get some Buddypress running up on the upstatewp.com site? I see that a lot of people use meetup.com, but I’m too cheap. However, should this ever take off we’ll need some sophisticated event managment plugin, which WP seems to be lacking, but I’m sure we can jerry-rig something 😉 * [lilyhoop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lilyhoop/) * (@lilyhoop) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125913) * Thanks for finding me on Twitter! I’m in the same building with Damon here in Glens Falls but curious to meet y’all. – Advokate * [Damon Cook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colorful-tones/) * (@colorful-tones) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125914) * ok, I’ve got upstatewp.com up with BP installed. Feel free to join over there and we can continue organizing and discussing in this forum: [http://www.upstatewp.com/groups/upstate-wp/forum/topic/first-meetup/](http://www.upstatewp.com/groups/upstate-wp/forum/topic/first-meetup/). Also, spread the word: [upstatewp.com](http://upstatewp.com) and [@upstate_wp](http://twitter.com/upstate_wp) on Twitter. Lets get some more people involved! * [Sheri Grey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designsimply/) * (@designsimply) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125918) * I’m in Saratoga Springs. A local WP meetup sounds killer. 🙂 * [Sheri Grey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designsimply/) * (@designsimply) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125919) * I tried to sign up at [http://www.upstatewp.com/register/](http://www.upstatewp.com/register/) but I just get an “[http://www.upstatewp.com/register/”](http://www.upstatewp.com/register/”); message when I click the Complete Sign Up button. Conflicting plugins? * [Damon Cook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colorful-tones/) * (@colorful-tones) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125920) * [@designsimply](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designsimply/), I’m sorry you’re having problems registering. I just went through the whole register process and didn’t have any issues. Can you please try again and report back if you’re still having issues? Great to have you on board!! * [Sheri Grey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designsimply/) * (@designsimply) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125921) * Just tried it again and it worked. Magic. 🙂 * [Damon Cook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colorful-tones/) * (@colorful-tones) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-wordpress-user-group/#post-2125922) * [@designsimply](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designsimply/), probably a caching issue. Glad it worked!
