I would like to try to get a session together where developers or architects in the community could come together and come up with some best practices and hands on approaches for designing systems.  Here is my idea below.

Meetings would occur on a Saturday from 11:30 until 3:30.  The cost of the event would be $5 dollars, unless I can find someone to sponsor the event.  The $5 dollars would cover lunch from somewhere like the Atlanta bread company.  The environment would be a round table atmosphere with a white board to write on.  I would like every to give their input and suggestions so we can come up with the best solutions.  And finally we would have one or more people at the event that would take notes on what is talked about and we could put this information into a document for the users of the group.

A topic idea for the first meeting could be something like: “How to create an ASP.NET Enterprise website from the ground up”

We could also follow along with the Patterns and Practices or the Guidelines from Microsoft. .

Let me know if anyone is interested.  I was thinking about a group of 12 would be the right size, but I wanted to see if anyone else was interested in this.
