Audio Conversion Workshop
The Audio Conversion workshop is for persons wanting to convert tapes, records or cassettes to digital format. Attendees are expected to come prepared with an audio project to convert in the workshop and then help pass along their knowledge to others in future workshops. Due to limited space around the computers and limited time for each participant, attendance is by invitation only.

Check the appropriate box to indicate the type of media (audio, slides, etc.) that you want to convert. You will then be contacted when space in a workshop is available.

Lab
Monitor Training, (See Meeting Calendar for dates)
The purpose of this
session is to familiarize individuals with the responsibilities and

need their skills refreshed will benefit from this session.
Please contact Gael Miller at

Hardware & Technology SIG/Web Design SIG - Special Meeting, November 1, 2006, 9:30 AM, Meeting Rooms 3 & 4, Activity Center
Speaker: Bill Buppert
Topic: dotnetnuke: a Web site content management system
dotnetnuke is an open-source Web site content management system, similar to OpenCMS used in the new Community Web Portal. It is based on Microsoft's .net and Active Server Pages (.asp) technologies. Bill Buppert will demonstrate its features and characteristics.
The Computer Club will be setting up a team of members to work on a 2nd-generation version of the Club's Web site as an update to some or all of the existing site. Community Web Portal microsites, dotnetnuke, or some other system for content management will be under consideration for part or all of this 2nd-generation incarnation. The presentation will help us assess a role for dotnetnuke in this effort. All Club members who are interested in learning more about how today's Web sites work under the hood and/or in participating in the new Computer Club Web site project are encouraged to attend.
