Canon User Group (CUG)

[Xing]

Hi TechMage, thanks for providing the meeting place.

As I have expected, we will not get 100% positive responses from all the Canon Users. Some will feel that it's a waste of time, plain boring, flame wars, etc.

Like what we have initially stated, there is no need to form any committee, no membership fee required, non-compulsory, etc. If you are free, then just drop by the place. Nobody point a gun at you to ask you to come. If you think it's a waste of time, then why Country Clubs / Golf Clubs, etc are formed? They exist for a reason / objective.

The main reason why this gathering should be exclusively for Canon Users is to prevent comparison in the group / venue itself. Can you imagine users from Nikon, Minlota, Pentax, etc attend this gathering? Everyone will be comparing their brands equipment against each other. Then it will defeat the purpose of such gathering.

Furthermore, if you have other objectives, you can always join other non-Canon outings or use CS as a platform, etc.

There are just too many talking without any actions taken. We have to be Swift and Decisive.

Let the White Knights rise! Shall we meet on 4 of May 2005, Wednesday at Canon Digital Lab.

TechMage, can you provide us with the timing available for meeting up?

Finally a date, 4th May, love to be there. I wanna learn more and further my interest in photography.

How about
CanonSnap?
Then other user groups can call NikonSnap, OlympusSnap, SonySnap, MinoltaSnap etc..... Afterall all members are ffrom the parent ClubSnap.

Ha ha ha, sounds like Cannot Snap.

Thanks for the feedback.

Let all the White Knights meet on 6 of May, Friday at 7pm at Canon Digital Hub.

We will discuss all issues at that place instead of discussing over at the forum. Face to face is definitely better.

TechMage, I have some proposals / ideas to share with you on that day to promote this newly set up gathering group.

Alrighty, It is set to that date and time. I'll look forward to meet everyone.
In the mean time, USM if you want to drop by to have a initial chat, do drop by and we can make some arrangement for 6 of May.

You cannot compare your forming of a Canon-user-only gathering to Country Clubs.

Country Clubs are for people to go and play golf, and I don't believe that their reason/objective is to discriminate against the brand of equipment the golfer uses. Does TMCC admit only golfers who use a particular brand of gold clubs or golf shoes?

 

[jsbn]

Hahaha... I think some of us are prolly getting sensitive?

I'm sure much as da Jedi Council or NUG convenes there'll be an occasional joke or two where we will crack at the expense of the other brand. This is naturally normal, like the many 'wars' PC vs Mac users have. Much as Mac users luff at Pissee users, we get luffed back in return for being fruit lovers. At the end of the day, you don't see large scale gangfights right?

Each of us know the differences as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each platform, ultimately we stick to the platform of the choice - much as the pond deep inland never meets the deep blue sea.

 

[fleek]
