      Title:
      July User Group Meeting
      Entry:

      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

    • Hi Rae

      It would be great if you manage to line up an AGOSP presentation for our user group meeting.

      Working from home, I can't offer a venue but maybe one solution is to see if they would be willing to use somewhere in their offices? The pluls for them would be that they wouldn't have to travel anywhere, lug gear around etc. Alternatively there is a cafe just at the bottom of Innovation's building. Not sure if they are open after business hours but if they are, I imagine it would be fairly quiet and could potentially be a good location.

      Cheers

      PS - Do you have a date for this meeeting?

      • Hi Jessica,

        That is the perfect answer and it actually occurred to me last night.  I have already informed AGIMO that I will be asking to use the Recreation Room on Level 10 of Industry House for the meeting.

        This is a big positive step for the group, and assisting AGIMO in getting the word out to Agencies regarding SmartForms is important.

        Cheers,

        Rae
