Hello East Bay CFUGgers:

It's been a bit of a bumpy ride, but we're back.

Our story thus far:
We had a fairly successful initial meeting back in April.  Shortly
before our scheduled May meeting, we ran into some issues with our
scheduled meeting venue thus resulting in the cancellation of the May
meeting.  As luck would have it, June brought the CF 9 / Flashbuilder
4 User Group tour, so I had a little extra time to try and find a new
home.

I'd heard from some other managers that New Horizons Computer Learning
Centers had been willing to help out User Groups in other locations,
so I contacted the Pleasanton branch (located right by Stoneridge Mall
off of 680), and they have been *very* receptive to the idea of
sponsoring us and helping make the group a success.

So, picking up where we left off, then...

Our current schedule is to meet the first Tuesday of each month, which
would place our next meeting at Tuesday July 7th.  I'd like to do (yet
another) kick-off type meet where we discuss the direction of the
group and build a solid foundation.  Specifically, I'd like to see
what we can do to make the meetings a bit more of an interactive
experience rather than a lecture-type experience.

I've also got a license for Balsamiq Mockups (http://www.balsamiq.com/
products/mockups/desktop) to raffle off (a $79 value), so I'll be
doing a fairly brief presentation on the product, then drawing a name
for the license.

Some quick notes about the New Horizons facility:
- Not sure if there will be wireless available.  My contact is looking
into it with their IT people.
- If there is no wireless, there are desktop computers with internet
access at each seat.
- Because there are desktop computers at each seat, I'll ask that
people please refrain from bringing in food/drink (although I'm sure a
bottle of water or the like would be fine).
- Since we won't be able to partake of pizza during the meeting, I'd
like to (once again) suggest an 'afterparty'.  There are quite a few
places around Pleasanton/Dublin that we can go for pizza/beer.

As a reminder, you can get the latest info on what's going on at our
Adobe Groups site (http://groups.adobe.com/groups/0e009fe342/
summary).  They've recently added RSVP functionality to the events,
which would be a good thing to take advantage of.  There's ample room
at New Horizons, but certainly not unlimited (I think the room will
hold up to 25).  Please help us out by using the RSVP feature so that
we know we're not approaching (or going over) capacity.
