Hi All,

I am trying to organise speakers for this months meeting, and have approached Anthony Steve from the Department of Innovation to give a case study on business.gov.au and Smartforms, as well as Stafford Cooper from the same Department to give a presentation and overview on the Australian Government Online Services Portal (AGOSP).  I expect that they will be more than happy to present, however I do expect it to be a longer than normal meeting and intend on starting it earlier than usual at around 4pm.

I also suspect that our usual venue will not do and will need to sort a new venue, which means I probably need to source sponsorship as well.  Adobe do sponsor the group for catering to $250 which will not be enough for this meeting, so if anyone in the group has ideas regarding venue or sponsorship please contact me.

I will be driving attendance to this together with AGIMO as they expressed an interest in supporting the group and attending User Group meetings to increase Smartforms awareness and usage across Government.  I find this extremely exciting and hope that you all do too.

Cheers,

Rae
