"Open Mic Night"
We're going to try something a little different for our December meeting. Instead of our usual formula of having a single speaker and a single topic, we'd like to open up the floor, so to speak, to everyone. If you have a little tip or trick you'd like to share with the group, come on up! Have something cool that you do in Photoshop? Or Illustrator? Know of a neat CSS positioning trick? We're looking to give as many people as possible the chance to share, so we'd like each presentation to be no more than 10 minutes or so. Hopefully, this will remove a lot of the pressure to prepare a multi-hour presentation as we normally do, so it'll be a great opportunity for other members to share their knowledge.
Oh, and we'll be giving away a copy of CS4, and doing our annual charity toy drive.

Thanks to everyone who attended tonight, and a special thanks to Ted for presenting!
In the announcements, I mentioned the Auburn Fire. If you'd like to contribute to the American Red Cross' relief effort, make checks payable to American Red Cross - Placer District - 49 fire and send them to:
American Red Cross, Placer District
457 Grass Valley Highway, Suite 8
Auburn, CA 95603
I also talked about Microsoft's offer to feed the hungry if you download IE8. Basically, they will donate money to feed 16 people for each copy of IE8 that is downloaded from their site. So it's a win-win: we get to help feed people, and help kill off IE6 at the same time.

Thanks to all who attended last night.
Unfortunately, the recording managed to capture the video, but not the audio. I'm not sure what happened exactly...
I'm looking for someone to present in October. Please let me know if you'd like to talk about something to the group. I'm completely open as to the topic; whatever you feel comfortable with is good.
