Thank you and the first meeting

[Norm Orstad]

I want to thank everyone that attended the 2009 Minnebar. I also want
to thank Luke Francl(@lof) and Ben Edwards(@alttext) for Minnebar. It
takes a lot of effort to plan something great like this for our
community.

So now what? The first RefreshTwinCities meeting is setup for December
7th at 6:30pm at Refractr, 11 Fourth Street NE, Suite 300,
Minneapolis, MN 55413. The first topic is "How to build and design for
multi-touch interfaces (Microsoft Surface, Adobe AIR, multitouch
screens).

I have plenty of offers for space but I think we need more ideas and
people to present. Ideas from today's meeting were: CSS3, "Getting
out of the box", tools and/or processes, education outreach, HTML5,
freelancing, in-house development ideas, typography on the web, UX/IA,
design disasters, startups, mobile and ???????. I would like to
encourage those people that are interested in a topic to think about
presenting themselves. Please respond to this email list or offline to
me (nor...@orstad.com) your interest and topic.

Sponsorship is in progress and open to any ideas someone may have.
