Hello folks,
Javed, mentionned the idea of organizing a geocaching party. Geocaching is
a game where people have to find geocaches that are associated with a set
of coordinates. I love this idea a lot.
For more info and see where the caches are see the links below :
http://www.geocaching.com/guide/default.aspx
http://www.geocaching.com/map/?ll=45.38918,-75.65076#?ll=45.50635,-75.82712&z=13
The goal is to organise a fun get together. Javed and I were originally
thinking we would make that happen in Gatineau Hills. There would also be a
possibility to chill out afterwards.
There used to be a Geocaching group on http://www.meetup.com,/but not any
more. So what I am thinking is the following :
- If we have few people, we do one group, and that group go after the
same geocache.
- If we have a lot, we can do team on different geocaches, and try to
see which team is the fastest
- Eventually, we can take some time for a beer / coffee together at the
end.
In terms of organization, this is how I see things :
- The geocaching party must fit into a morning. We all have things to do
during the week-end.
- People should be able to bring their folks / friends.
- This should be advertised on meetup well in advance and on our wiki
page.
- People need to let me know in advance what their feeling is like
towards that. I don't want to spend time organizing that if it is of
interest to no one.
So, where do we start ;)? I suggest you first let me know what you think
about this idea.
- Are you open to that concept.
- Would you rather see that replace the monthly meeting the month it
happens? (That is definitely doable)
Remember, I really need your feedback to make that happen, so share your
ideas, pros, and cons as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Cheers,

I did an introduction to Geocaching once on the Ottawa Geek Social Club
meetup.
Had about 7 or 8 people. Best way to get computer geeks outdoors :-)

Hell Julien,
Thanks for the feedback. That are actually some things I would be really
interested in :
- Where did you do that?
- What was the time format?
- What aspect did people enjoy the most?
- What do you think could have been improved
Would you be interested in being part of that party? We were thinking about
doing that in June.
Cheers,
*Fabien*

Arround old Ottawa South. Started on bank and made our way to Bronson,
finding caches allong the way.
> What was the time format?
A few hours. Sorry I don't remember more precisely. It started at 10.
http://www.meetup.com/ottawa-geek-social-club/events/30552381/
> What aspect did people enjoy the most?
The location was accessible to non-car owners. Good gender ratio, nice
weather, starting at the Caf? allowed people to chit chat.
> What do you think could have been improved
There had been some confusion arround the meeting spot. I had mixed up
Bridgeheads franchises.

I can't say that I would be super inclined but if time and date fits with
schedule I would go. First two weekends of June are already booked.
