I can make either 6/30, 7/6 or 7/8. Also, if you meet during the M-Sat schedule, the Brooklyn Public Library at Grand Army Plaza has a great meeting space that comfortably holds up to 30 people and has a huge projection screen that you can hook up a laptop to with access to the internet. You'd have to reserve it in advance & make the meeting open to the public but hopefully that's OK. Contact: Info Commons (718) 230-2491

@rockroadpix thanks for the mention. Was not aware about this. i'm down to attend... you guys come with a date and i'll be there (if i'm not working of course)

I cant do the first weekend in July. Ill be in Ohio for two gigs maybe a third. The third weekend in July I am free but understand majority rule.

@OSGondar, I'm good first weekend in July, at the moment.

I'm a GH2 user and would love to attend a meeting of GH2 & GH3 users. I'm out of town the weekend of July 6,7. I could attend a meeting on June 29th or 30th or later weekends in July. If unable to attend first meeting would love to attend in the future. I've a loft in the East village that might serve as a future meeting place but no large screen for viewing or a projector. No air conditioning in the main space but good cross ventilation if not too hot.

Alienhead:

I would like to meet GH2 and GH3 and others users in NYC too. And an extended version of the meeting in progress, I would propose a meeting with an agenda that would include:

• An indoor location to share a live screening of the attending users' works. Who doesn't want to see his/her work on a big screen?
• To share the stories of the making and behind the scenes of their on-screen footage.
• To have a warm feedback from the attendees.
• First hand interchange of experience with gear, including lenses, adapters, etc.
• Experience with different types of patches depending on the genre being filmed.
• To open the door for local collaboration
• As Alienhead has said, "to open possibly temporarily exchange of equipment or rent from to make the most of resources." which in NYC has been impossible for me to find a rental facility that rents the GH2 ether GH3. However, I rent them from LensRental, outside NY.

Others subjects can be added to the above list.

For the occasion Jeremy, another GH2 user can provide the location, and we will share responsibility providing the below equipment list:

• A Blu-ray player
• A 39 feet wide screen or a 72" (5.8 feet wide).
• A 720p projector, available now, or to rent a 1080p for the occasion for those with 1080p footage. It would be better if one of the attendee can provide the 1080p one to avoid the rent.

The date can be accommodated depending on the numbers of people, time and studio schedule.

Location is in Broxville, NY. Easy access through Metro North from Manhattan or upstate NY. Address and direction by car and other public transportation would be provided as a follow up accordingly with users interest.

Best regards,

Willian Aleman

@willianaleman I am a GH2 user. It would be great to meet up with other GH2 people who could potentially be 2nd camera hires or collaborators, and possibly temporarily exchange equipment or rent from to make the most of resources.

It seems unlikely to get everyone interested to meet on the same day, perhaps there could be two meetings on 6/29 or 6/30 and 7/6 or 7/8.

How many GH2 registered users are in New York?

Thanks @OSGondar for adjusting the date. Unfortunately my Saturday July 6 is locked down for a shoot (apologies I didn't mention). If the first weekend of July is the best time for most of you, I can always go to the next one.

cheers :)

Ok, I hear you loud and clear and i will adjust! You need more than two weeks notice and June is very busy for the NYC folks. How about first weekend of July? That would mean @danabrams @Branson @rockroadpix @wowstanley @Alienhead and @posit can join...

Sorry @Branson but Postponing until mid august may be a bit too much, I rarely know what is going on two months from now, clients come and go, i can schedule for the next month though. Maybe we will have another meet not long after from the first one. So the first weekend of July? (Current June guys @HeroWorship @jasantana @atwater2 onboard too?)

Sound off! yes or no.. i hope this will accommodate a lot more of you =)

@OSGondar - anyone with a family or other obligations needs more than 3 weeks notice for a weekend event. Especially in the summer.

Yo NYC! Unfortunately I will have an upstate shoot June 22nd weekend and the 29th would be better as well. I might be able to organize access to a space (15 peepz) near Union Square to skype in @Vitaliy_Kiselev et all if I tell them that competent professionals in the group might be interested in booking it in the future (no affiliation ATM on my part).

I'd love to join you but I'll be out out town until July.
