Hi all,
I’m getting together information about MUG meetings in February 2006 – I know that February 2006 seems a long way off, but by the time you take into account the Xmas/New Year break and printing schedules. it will be upon us in no time at all.
Due to the publishing schedule of Australian Macworld, I need info about your February meeting BEFORE 5pm on Wednesday, December 7, 2005.
What I need is the following info;
- The Date
- Your Group Name
- Title of your Presentation/Event (if you know what is)
- The URL promoting your meeting/event
- Entry Cost (if any)
BTW: You may also want to check out an article I just published on how to publish an iCal so that you can publish an iCal of forthcoming events. Many groups do this already and I think it is really useful (particularly for me gathering meeting dates)
The article can be found at http://www.nicholaspyers.com/articles/20051023-publishingicals/, and if you wish to reprint the article in a future issue of your newsletter, please feel free to do so – just follow the reprint rules as found at http://www.nicholaspyers.com/reprints/
A 348k ZIP file with the article and the images can be downloaded from http://www.nicholaspyers.com/assets/articles/20031023-publishingcals.zip
If you do decide to publish an iCal promoting your events for 2006 (or already have one) let me know; Nicholas Pyers, MUG Resources – usergroups-at-nicholaspyers-dot-com
You may also wish to inform the following people as well, as they can all promote your events on their sites and “newsletters”;
| Sandy Foderick, Editor of Apple User Group Bulletin – sfoderick-at-mac-dot-com |
| Chuck Joiner, Editor of The MUG Center – chuck-at-mugcenter-dot-com |
| Greg Sharp, Webmaster of AUSMUG – webmaster-at-australian-dot-macusersgroups-dot-org |
| Graeme Moffat, Apple Regional Liaison Oceania – gmoffatt-at-i4free-dot-co-dot-nz |
Also, consider posting the announcement to the Apple User Group Discussion List; http://lists.apple.com/mailman/subscribe/augd/, so other Groups know what is happening within your organisation.
I look forward to hearing back from you regarding your February Meetings and hopefully also about your iCals.
