Hey everyone! We have decided on a date so mark it down on your calendar and be there. November 18th at 6:00pm at New Perspective (directions again).
We have had some requests for a users email list for the User Group. We are now in the process of putting this together. Originally, we were shying away from the idea of the list. Since the site is a blog and has a feed we thought that people that use RSS readers or Live Bookmarks in Firefox, etc would be able to get updates easily without us having to send mass emails every time we wanted to tell you all something. Blogger uses atom feeds but a RSS Feed is here.
What we ARE interested in is being able to chat with you guys during the day. I already talk to some other Flashers during the day talking about things we are trying to work through that are giving us problems. Currently we use Google Talk for that though we also run other IM clients as well. If you are interested in being part of the PittMFUG IM List then you can just request to be added to Wayne’s or my list. The emails for that are: wlinkin at gmail.com and sgtpritchard at gmail.com (spelled out here to keep bots from spamming us).
At the meeting we will probably collect some info such as Name, Place of Employment, Title, Email, etc. Just so we can keep in touch with you. That way if we NEED to send an email out we can.
Hope to see you all there – we have had some very encouraging response so far. Remember to tell your pals. Thanks!
-Ben Pritchard
