G'day all. Is your iCal set? Mine is. Tomorrow, Tuesday 2 March 2010 for the WAMUG Annual General Meeting and monthly meeting.
Help keep WAMUG strong and come and have your say. Repeat of details, etc below. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# All the positions on the committee are up for nominations including the office bearers. So, what is involved I hear some ask? The main office bearer positions are the same as for most similar committees in that there is a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer and also a Vice President. Then there are a number of committee member positions that vary depending, naturally, on how many people volunteer. Currently, WAMUG only has four active committee members! In other words, the office bearers have been bearing the whole load. When you consider those four great people lead extremely busy daily lives, they have done an absolutely fantastic job. (By the way, I'm not a committee member so I'm not blowing my own trumpet) However, it's unfair to depend just on them. This is your chance to help. If you can't be or don't want to be an office bearer, please consider still nominating to be a committee member. The more we can get, the more WAMUG can get done and the more work can be shared, resulting in actually less for an individual committee member to do! Well, so the theory goes. Committee Meetings. The committee meets on the Tuesday night, a fortnight following the WAMUG monthly meeting, in South Perth. You might not be able to make every meeting and that's fine. Even if, for example, you could only make every second committee meeting, I'm sure there would be no problem. The more committee members there are, as I said, the more can get done. The more ideas for monthly meetings, training sessions, membership recruitment, fund raising and so on. Why not put your hand up and give it a go. New faces and new ideas can only help. We all get so much help from the mailing list and also the monthly meetings but if we didn't have a committee...???? The WAMUG Web Site. Not able to be a committee member but still want to help? WAMUG really needs someone to look after the Web Site. All you need is a bit of time to spare for the job and a "smattering of web savvy". I am reliably informed that there is not that much to know because the site is running under Wordpress. (Last time I used a word press, I put the letters in back-to-front and the ink leaked all over the paper and gummed up the rollers!!!) The Monthly Meeting. Immediately following the AGM will be the usual monthly meeting. The topics for discussion are, in no particular order: 1. Bento revisited: we'll look specifically to see what version 3 is doing. 2. Web Sites for the rest of us. We'll have a look at some easy-to-use tools for making effective web sites, specifically the no-brainer Sandvox and Flux. Both are Mac-specific Cocoa applications which depart from the "traditional" approach used by tools like Dreamweaver. Plus of course the usual question and answer open forum and don't forget a cuppa and biscuits at the end. (Oh! And the mandatory lock-in by security at the end of the night - you've had to be there to get that one!!!) (Details are subject to change without notice) If you can only come to one meeting this year - make it the Annual General Meeting - 2 March 2010 Location: Geology building 312, Curtin University, Bentley.
