Fwd: Macromedia to present 10/9 at SF Higher Ed Web Group

Nearly a year ago, Deb Mindel, a colleague at the College of Marin, and I
started a group we call the San Francisco Higher Ed Web Professionals. It's
an intramural (can I use the word that way?) organization of web folks who
edit, manage, or design web pages for Bay Area colleges and universities.
That is to say, we're not technical. Half the time we can't even get the
projector to work. But I digress. I though members of webnet might be
interested in knowing about this group. We've been meeting every other
month, on a variety of topics. The meetings have been extremely interesting
as the little schools, like the College of Marin, envy the big schools for
all the FTEs and money we can devote to web stuff (sure, laugh, but Deb is
*it* at the College of Marin. The whole college.) and the big schools (like
us) envy the little schools because of the amount of control they can wield
over look and feel, editing, etc. Heck, some of 'em have even gotten CMSs
in place. Imagine that at Cal!

Anyway, if you want a chance to meet your colleagues from Stanford, UCSF,
SFSU, and other area schools, and you want to maybe learn a bit about
Contribute in the process, join us.

Next Thursday.
