Watch http://www.pmview.com/ for details ********************************************************************* Source: Gary Wong (wonggd@attglobal.net) Moderator: Trevor Smith (trevor@haligonian.com) ------------------------------------------------------- The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will be this Saturday, November 20, at 9:00 AM PST, at the IBM offices located in Plaza Tower, 600 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa, on the 2nd floor. OS/2 Marketing Guru to Demonstrate how to Shoot for the Sky! How *did* that guy do it? WHY did he do what he did? After receiving several requests to do so, we've asked the whiz behind SCOUG's Warp Expo West marketing effort to explain how he successfully marketed the event. Everything Peter Skye prepared for marketing our successful OS/2 event this year had a pre-planned strategy and reason. Peter will let us in on his secrets at the next SCOUG general meeting. This will be an important presentation for all SCOUG vendors, developers, and even plain old members since Peter's techniques are key to the success of any event or product. Peter's tricks can be translated into just about anything. And of course, Peter is always entertaining, so those who just like to watch Peter in action will be in for a treat. After the presentation we'll have Q&A to get your computer problems resolved. Then a raffle and the Saturday SIG meetings: General Interest Group - topic TBA Programming SIG - Michael (Rocky) Rakijas and Ben Archer will recap their Warp Expo West presentation on using Octave. Afterwards: No-host lunch and friendly chat at TGI Friday's across the street or another local restaurant. Internet SIG chats happen several times each week. Join them!
