I normally don't forward stuff like this, partially because I think you folks see it before I do and partially because it is not apropos, but this one seems to break those two rules.<br>...John<br><br>---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>

I
wanted to pass this information along. We are having a UserGroup
Leadership summit in atlanta next month. And are encouraging other Users
Groups to consider sending people. We are looking for 1-2 leaders per
group to attend. See the email below for information. Some of you may
have already gotten this so please ignore if you did</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Henry McBride</div><div><br></div><div>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><br>We'd like to announce the 2010 Southeast User Group Leader Summit<br>
(SEUGLS)! It's taking place on October 16th, 2010 from 11am to 7pm and<br>is pretty much the same format and location as last year. We decided<br>to keep registration free and it's NOW OPEN at<br><a href="http://seugls.eventbrite.com/" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);" target="_blank">http://seugls.eventbrite.com/</a>.<br>
<br>This unconference-style event is for technology-based user and<br>community groups in the Southeast. The goal of this event is to share<br>tips and discuss the issues and challenges facing technology groups<br>regardless of the actual technology the group is focused on, such as<br>
finding locations, getting speakers, seeking out sponsorship, growing<br>membership, hosting special events, etc.<br><br>Microsoft will be hosting us again at their regional headquarters in<br>Alpharetta, GA (north Atlanta area). O'Reilly Media is our primary<br>
supporter again this year, as well. The wiki from last year is still<br>running at <a href="http://seugls2009.pbworks.com/" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);" target="_blank">http://seugls2009.pbworks.com/</a> if you'd like to look back<br>
or if you're new to SEUGLS.<br><br>For more information and discussion:<br><br>Event Wiki: <a href="http://seugls.pbworks.com/" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);" target="_blank">http://seugls.pbworks.com/</a> - feel free to add session ideas, etc.<br>
