Wellington IT volunteer group

[Steph Beath]

Hi Julius, Susan Finlay has passed on your details to me in regard to you making some new contacts in the Wellington web industry.

The volunteer group would be really happy to have you onboard. I'm sure it will be a great way for you to make some valuable contacts and we'd love your help. Being blind yourself, I'm sure your advice will be especially relevant to our current project, improving the Emerge Trust website.

The aim of the group is to enable learning and sharing between individuals in our line of work and do some good in the community at the same time. If this sounds like you, please join us at our next gathering, 5pm next Saturday 17th July at the Southern Cross pub in Abel Tasman St.

We'll make sure we can see the entrance to the bar so we can come and get you when you arrive. Do you carry a cane or is there some way we'll be able to identify that you're you?

Thanks,

Would it be worth having a google wave on this, as it's no longer
locked down to invitation and the speed is better and
would be an easy way to organise ideas / plans?

I am a big fan of wave too. Am happy to switch if there's a groundswell.

Teambox has fairly good support for things like code pasting. All of its widgets are drag & drop with Markdown support. I am working with Teambox on another project. The system really comes alive when the rest of the team to contribute. On that note, thanks for adding comments etc this morning Brett!
