Inaugural Victoria OpenCoffee Club Meeting
This morning, six of us braved the freezing rain to meet at the Ogden Point Cafe.
In attendance:
- Yule Heibel (@yuleheibel) and Werner Bahlke (@wernerbahlke) from MetroCascade
- MCM (@1889ca) – software developer and creator of RollBots, an animated series featuring robots
- Catherine Novak (@WordSpring) – social media and business writing consultant
- Rod Olafson, developer and entrepreneur
- Jennifer Ross (@jenn) – developer and entrepreneur
The next meeting is in two weeks, on Tuesday March 31 between 8:00-9:30am at the Ogden Point Cafe – map.
Victoria joins over 100 other cities around the world in creating an informal space for entrepreneurs, designers, developers, founders, investors and supporters to meet and discuss their projects and companies.

Thanks for bringing the idea to Victoria, Jenn! I’m looking forward to the next one, and will invite more people who want to connect in a welcoming environment. If the weather stays lousy, folks, at least Ogden Point has a fireplace of sorts, and a good view of storms. And the conversation is excellent.

What Catherine said! Coffee is always good, Open Coffee even better!

Looking forward to tomorrow's meetup – although I'm somewhat inconsolable that the weather hasn't improved since your entry from 2 weeks ago…

Hi Yule, I wish more days were more like yesterday! I'll see you at Ogden Point tomorrow morning, though – regardless of the weather.
