Ping.sg 1st Anniversary Party

A lot has been said about Ping.sg 1st anniversary party, so I won’t be doing a review of it (just go to Ping.sg and search the archives for it, or click on the link earlier in this sentence).

Although not that bad for a first-time event done by amateur event-organizers, I realized one major thing that was missing from the party: interaction between so-called “regulars” and those who just came for Ping.sg gatherings for the first time. This, I feel, is quite important in welcoming the newcomers in the family.

They don’t have to be so formal, if that’s what you’re thinking. Some sort of ice-breaker could be organized in order to involve the newcomers, perhaps something like games that can involve everyone. And there should be less of in-jokes or references that only the regulars understand.

I admit that although I am kept in the loop in the mailing list, I didn’t contribute much. However like everyone said, we all learn, isn’t it? :)

    OK, next gathering, which ever regular member don’t interact with the new member will have to foot the bill! *evil laugh*

    Or we can have a pair of regulars in charge of a group of new members and make them feel comfortable at big event like ping anniversary.

    Those who are too shy to speak up at all or anti-social will receive a kiss from all gals and guys.
