I can't be at the meeting today, so I hope that someone can make an ann= ouncement on my behalf and that of the CODE-PEOPLE committee. Our next meet= ing is all about JavaScript, and the main speaker will be Zachary Johnson, = one of the founders of WEB-STANDARDS, so it should be of interest to many i= n this group. We also strongly invite people to give lightning talks about = JavaScript.

Below is the draft meeting announcement. I'll forward th= e official announcement once it goes out, too.

Tha= nk you!

Hello everyone!

Don't forget that our Web Standards meeting, the first one of the
academic year, is today!

Amanda Costello will present her latest:

"I Don't Have Your Ph.D. - Working with Faculty and the Web"<= br>
How do you make sense of and promote faculty research if you have no
background in their subject area, let alone an advanced degree? How
can you work with difficult faculty personalities, from the complete
technophobe to the extreme early adopter? This session will draw from
Amanda=E2=80=99s experience as a web designer and content strategist in the=
College of Education and Human Development. Learn how to channel your
faculty=E2=80=99s expertise into great web content, and build their trust i= n
your knowledge and skills. Bring your questions, triumphs and war
stories!

The pizza order is going in shortly after 10 a.m., so if you haven't already, PLEASE RSVP at the link below by 10:10 to ensure an adequate

Location: 325 Education Sciences Time: As always, food and networking
