Should be able to come along.

Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to the late start.

Certainly want to make it if I can...

I will.,

Cheers,

I am finding the links in the orginal posting

www.joomladay.org.au/index.php?option=co...-group&Itemid=81

in the text: "Everybody's contributions are invaluable. If there is anything specific you like to address or talk about, pls use this thread.

Seem to link only back to the home page of the website.

I would like to make some topical suggestions.
PS: The submission buttons appear to be a very dark background with black text on the foregournd using IE6 sp1.

Surely want to come if I can make it....

I will be there!

Yep ... will be there.

I think our meetings would be more productive to most of our members if we introduced a dedicated Q and A session. Also ... even more useful would be hands-on, problem solving workshops alternating with every 2nd or 3rd meeting. Maybe something to discuss at the March 26 meeting.

I can't agree more, Dave.
We can/should use the forum to prepare for the meeting. If anybody has particular questions, topics to raise/discuss, expertise/experience to contribute, please dump it into this forum. This helps to structure the meeting better and perhaps to do a bit of research beforehand.

Workshops would be fabulous and whoever wants to put up his hand to run the first one is more than welcome to do so. I am waiting for your input .

I have to drop out, minor emergency. rats.

Hey, I was there last night, great to meet you all!
Just testing to see if I can post in the forum as I was informed I may be able to now!

The announcement for our next meeting is out. We will continue as discussed last meeting, whoever responds to the forum first will get the spots for showcasing your Joomla project to the group. Please post to the thread linked above.

See you soon,
Matthias

Very glad to be there!

Actually, Weekends would be always perfect for me! By the way, is there any way to the map of Melbourne Uni, 'coz I have never been there before.

Cheers!

This should link you directly. If you type your address into the field provided in the pop-up on the map, you should get directions too.

Raoul was so kind to provide the following short summary of our meeting:

• FacileForms - good, but not yet at 1.5
• rsForms - are 1.5 compatible, but no knowledge within MJUG
• Fabrik Forms - good, but not yet at 1.5
• Community Builder - the quintessential add-on for Joomla 1.0.x, (1.5 legacy capable, but joomla.com notes some issues)
• Acajoom News - A Newsletter recommended/mentioned by MJUG users
• Menalto Gallery - Not directly Joomla related, but was mentioned
• snipurl.com - Not directly Joomla related, but was mentioned for joomla's (non sef or 1.0.x's) long url links and how snipurl can help.

Great work and we will continue to list short summaries into the thread after each meeting.
