Hi all, First of all, the "Free Briefing for Education and Government" next Thursday night is all but full. We have over 70 people coming to this event which is absolutely amazing.
We're really pleased that interest in web standards and accessibility has spread throughout Australia over the last 12 months. In this context, WE04 should be a great event! There's one thing that kind of mystifies us though: although we've had more than enough people sign up already to make WE04 happen, we haven't actually had a lot of WSG members. Our only guess is that you guys are cagey types who won't sign up till you absolutely have to. So, we've come up with some incentives to give you all a bit of a prod along, and make sure you don't miss out. We're announcing this here now, and then a few other places over the next 24 hrs, so if you get it together and register quickly you could win... The Loot The first 10 individuals to sign up after this announcement goes out will get a copy of Dan Cederholm's fantastic new book "Web Standards Solutions". The first 10 groups of 4 or more from the same company who sign up will get a 10 user site license for XStandards, the most advanced standards based XHTML WYSIWYG editor available. So, if you were thinking of getting a few people from your team involved, make sure you get 4 and you'll get a 10 seat license for this great tool as a bonus - if you are quick! WE04 - the info When : 30 September, 1st October Where : UTS, Sydney Who : Joe Clarke, Dave Shea, Doug Bowman, Nigel MacFarlane from the W3C, Bruce Macguire and a range of local talent.
