HTML event with Terry Ryan
Entry posted on Oct 31 by coldfumonkeh

Hi HAUGers.

I'm really pleased to announce that next week we have organised a really special event with Terry Ryan, Adobe evangelist and author, who will be coming to speak to us about the HTML tools and new creative services offere by Adobe for building the modern web.

The event has been posted on the HAUG site (http://hertfordshire.groups.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=post.display&postid=44906) but you will need to register at the Eventbrite page to ensure your place is booked (and so I can track attendance numbers):

This is open to anyone who wants to come along and find out the latest from Adobe and their continued push to assist with HTML5 development and creative projects for the web. Please let your colleagues, friends, relatives and mild acquaintances know!

I look forward to seeing you next Wednesday evening!

Ready for next meeting...?
Entry posted on Sep 25 by coldfumonkeh

Dearest HAUGers, we've had little (no) events over the last few months due to various reasons.

Plans have been slow but sure to move the group into a decent, regular meeting place with tech equipment and facilities to hold presentations / hack evenings / discussions etc. Whilst this is still being finalised, this will also mean extra promotion for the group and an increase in membership numbers.. the more people we can connect with, network with and learn together from, the better (at least that's what I think).

So, before we push to the bigger, better space and more people than we can shake the proverbial stick at, I wanted to get together with everyone to have an informal social meetup. We can use it to restart the group (version 2.0, baby) ask advice and input from each other on what we all want to get out of the group and how we can achieve that together, and to lay out plans for the future.

Although I want us to grow, the core members (you guys) are the foundation of the group. Without your original interest, this group would not be here. It's your group, and I want to make sure that together we build it up to be an amazing resource, a place to learn and experiment with new tech and ideas, and a great place to hang out and get social every once in a while.

So, hands up who is ready for the next round? Let's get this group reanimated and kicking back into action! When do you want to meet? Preferred day of the week? Preferred time of day? Beer? No beer? Choices... over to you!

09/25/12: Emigration.. a pipe dream :) I'm going to look for somewhere else to hold this little social 'regrouping'. Eventually we'll move into a more-or-less permanent venue with good facilities.

09/25/12: Hi folks. I'm new to this group, it'd be great to meet-up with some like-minded nerdy-types over a beer or two. Most evenings are good for me, especially if it's in St Albans. See you there. Tim
