Sticks, carrots staying sane: An approach to standards advocacy in large organisations and very interesting it was. You are too kind ;) The presentation is online at http://weblog.200ok.com.au/2005/06/sticks-carrots-staying-sane.html and the video appears to have been successful, so hopefully that will be available soon. Video is still in the works. We'll probably be looking for volunteers later on to help us caption the sucker... cheers, h -- --- http://www.200ok.com.au/ --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Video is still in the works. We'll probably be looking for volunteers later on to help us caption the sucker... We've just got to wait for the AV team to have some spare time to digitise it so I can take it home and edit it into something worthy of upload (Don't worry Ben, I'll overdub you with someone interesting ;p) Once it's edited, we'll cut it up into manageable blocks and put the call out for captioners. Ben and I will fill the void left by any potential lack of volunteers.

[WSG] Followup to Tuesday's Brisbane Meeting
... and finally finds a few minutes to post! Tuesday's Brisbane meeting was great! Tania Lang of Peak Usability and the Brisbane CHI SIG dropped by to introduce herself and fill us in the SIG and World Usability Day on November 3 - sounds good. Brisbane is hosting a 1/2 day seminar entitled Usability: Making it Easy. Is anything happening local to you? Ben Buchanan of Griffith University (how cool is it to have the job title Web Standards Developer?) had the main gig, with his talk on Sticks, carrots staying sane: An approach to standards advocacy in large organisations and very interesting it was. The presentation is online at http://weblog.200ok.com.au/2005/06/sticks-carrots-staying-sane.html and the video appears to have been successful, so hopefully that will be available soon. August will see us avidly listening to John Bates talking to us about Internationalisation (geez, no wonder it is routinely abbreviated to 'i18n'!). warmly, Lea -- Core Group Member ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

I've been told it's shortened for two reasons: Firstly, it's much easier to type. Secondly, it solves the internationalisation problem of isation vs ization :) Dean ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
