Planning for October

October is right around the corner and I’m working on plans for the next meetup. I’ve been tossing some ideas around with folks and we are considering adding an additional meeting every month. One for networking and the other for hack-a-thons.

Checkout the poll in the sidebar and vote for the topic you would like to discuss this month. If you have any suggestions comment here.

Have a Great Weekend!

I’m still receiving feedback from members and will decide on a location next week. If you have a preference for a particular part of town or location, please let me know. I will take look at everyone’s situation and try to accommodate.

Time / Location Feedback

Meetup and Facebook have been blasting emails to you before I had the opportunity to change times and dates for September’s meetup.

Just to clarify a few things..

http://webdesign.meetup.com/470/
http://webstandards.meetup.com/124/
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2384347661
http://vegasfoo.com/

These are all the same group. Its called VegasFoo.

We meet once monthly to discuss all areas of web technology. I’ve received a few requests that Green Valley is too difficult to get to for 5:00pm. So, I want to throw these times and locations out there and hopefully receive some feedback:

Tuesday September 4th, 5:00 - Green Valley Area
Tuesday September 4th, 7:00 - Green Valley Area
Tuesday September 4th, 7:00 - Somewhere on the West Side

Tuesday September 11th, 5:00 - Green Valley Area
Tuesday September 11th, 7:00 - Green Valley Area
Tuesday September 11th, 7:00 - Somewhere on the West Side

Other suggestions are more than welcome.

Please get back to me ASAP so that I can reserve a location.

August Mixer Re-Cap

The drinks were flowing, the food kept coming, and conversation was in the air. Thank You to all that showed up for the August meeting. Special thanks to Zappos.com for sponsoring the event.

I’ve almost completed the redesign of this blog. I’m skinning it based on the sandbox theme. If you are into wordpress and designing themes, this is by far the “theme for themers”. I will get into breaking down a wordpress theme in another post :)

Here are some pics from the August Vegas Foo Mixer ..

Fun at Vegas Foo

More Fun at VegasFoo!

Hello World!

A few months back I searched for a local web design/dev group here in Vegas to no avail. So, I decided to start one.

Welcome to VegasFoo! We are attempting to cultivate a web design and development community in Las Vegas. The plan is to host open discussions and mixers to start with, see where the interests of the group lie, then possibly roll into a bit more structure with a presentation/mixer combo.

The meetings are usually on the first Tuesday of every month. Our next mixer will be August 14th at Claim Jumper on Green Valley parkway. If you would like to attend…please RSVP through Facebook.com or Meetup.com.
