I'm going to put you on the schedule, then. :P<BR><BR>Speaking of the September meeting, who's taking care of the sponsors? I'd like to have that nailed down and confirmed by the SC meeting (which is next week, I just realized. I'll send out a reminder email in just a bit). I'd really like the September meeting to be less painful than July and August were (which were probably my fault, as it's my responsibility to make sure things are running correctly). <BR><BR>We also need to figure out what to do about the lunch meeting, since the FT room is not available. The two options I've heard are Univ. of Phoenix, which was expensive, if I recall correctly, and I think Principal (?) offered one of their meeting/conference rooms. Any other suggestions? <BR><BR>On an unrelated topic, if you'll recall some of us had been discussing the web site and how to improve it, which led (me, at least) to discuss what powers the site, its hosting, etc. I've been tinkering with Joomla, which, although it's PHP-powered, is a mighty fine CMS that I think will address the desire for increased functionality, while also addressing the hosting/cost issues with the site (with me leaving IEC and having been the one who maintained it while I was there, they have expressed that it wouldn't break their hearts to see it follow me out the door, as they don't have time to do anything with -- the actual bandwidth and hosting aren't an issue, just the maintenance). At any rate, take a look at this and let me know what you think (my apologies for the weak attempt at humor): <A href="http://joomla.okcjug.org/">http://joomla.okcjug.org/</A>. Feeback, criticisms, etc are welcome. :)<BR><BR>-- <BR>Jason Lee, SCJP<BR>Software Architect -- Objectstream, Inc.<BR>JSF RI Dev Team<BR><A href="http://blogs.steeplesoft.com"> http://blogs.steeplesoft.com</A><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Sc mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:Sc@lists.okcjug.org">Sc@lists.okcjug.org</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://lists.okcjug.org/listinfo.cgi/sc-okcjug.org">http://lists.okcjug.org/listinfo.cgi/sc-okcjug.org</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://wiki.okcjug.org">http://wiki.okcjug.org</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/okcjug/">http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/okcjug/</A></DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
