This is a big change for our groups but necessary as the industry evolves. I hope we see quite a few folks out for the Lightning Talks, especially speaking. These talks will be a good way to help evolve the direction of the group. If you have done anything this month with a jQuery module, CSS framework, CMS, CF, Flex, Flash, iOS, etc etc then you have a 10 minute talk even if you have no slides or examples, just come up and say "Hey, I've been working with this and this is how it helped me as a web technologist".
This is a big change for the group and I commend John and the other board members of other groups on all that he has done in the past and has been doing to lead this new direction. We still have our roots in the original technologies but just like Adobe is doing in re-defining their markets its good for us to re-define the role of the our user group community in Atlanta helping us to keep up with the times. Looking forward to seeing a diverse range of folks from the past present and future out there next week.
