MMUG-IRELAND » Meeting Notes http://www.mmug-ireland.org Multimedia Users Group of Ireland Tue, 10 Feb 2009 10:05:51 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Meeting Notes http://www.mmug-ireland.org/2008/10/15/meeting-notes/ http://www.mmug-ireland.org/2008/10/15/meeting-notes/#comments Wed, 15 Oct 2008 08:27:45 +0000 Christian Gehrke http://www.mmug-ireland.org/?p=95 Our last meeting was on Monday October 13th.

We went over all the new features of Adobe CS4. Including Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver and a few others. We also set up and tried out our new Acrobat Connect Pro account which will allow us to broadcast and record our meetings to the net. This means that members could attend an event from the comfort of their own homes if they choose. That defeats the purpose of getting out of the house and meeting people with like minds but hey that’s up to you.

You may wonder why we have not updated this site in a while and that because I had a massive hack until today that prevented me from logging in at all. It has been fixed and now I will probably spend the day adding links I have found over the last few months. My fingers will be tired.

We have access to the computer labs at LYIT now for our meetings and this allows us to do a presentation each month.

We selected a book for a next selection from peachpit and the details are below. Anyone wishing to borrow a book should contact Christian at chris@mmug-ireland.org.

Non-Designer’s Design and Type Book, Deluxe Edition


This book offers decades of experience from one of the greatest computer book authors. Here in one volume, Robin Williams has joined together a new edition of her classic The Non-Designer’s Design Book—in glorious full color for the first time—and her best-selling The Non-Designer’s Type Book. Robin uses her straightforward and lighthearted style to define the principles that govern good design and type as well as the logic behind those principles. Using numerous examples, you’ll learn what looks best and why on your way to designing beautiful and effective projects. Whether you are a Mac user or a Windows user, a type novice or an experienced graphic designer, you will find inspiration and direction for the design quandaries and conundrums you are sure to encounter!

To date it was the largest turnout we have had so far. We started the meeting with a brief introduction of everyone attending and quickly went into discussing some business at hand.

We decided on our monthly book selection which is listed below:

Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Photographers: Video Training Book
By Chris Orwig

I will be making a new page on this site with a list of all or books so members know what books are in the library and whether it’s currently checked out or not.

It was suggested that we have our next meeting at LYIT during a weekday lunch hour so students could attend and find out more about the group. We all thought this was a good idea and Johnny Boyle will be helping put this together with LYIT.

Other key topics discussed were:

WordPress integration for web solution.

Slideshowpro components in Flash and their benefits.

It was requested that we put together a list of free online presentations for members to use outside of meetings. I will be compiling a list of links for this starting with one I already have which is listed below.

The list currently holds 163 presentations from 106 presenters, totalling 146+ hours of video, that I and 32 others have added so far.

The turn out was not as I expected but we still enjoyed ourselves.

We discussed all the benefits for members of the group, book selections for the next month and we have a better idea of what each member hopes to get from the group meetings.

I will post a separate entry with the list of benefits as requested during our meeting.

Our next meeting will also be at the Silver Tassie. The location was very pleasant and should do fine until the group grows to large.

Thanks to all who attended and I hope to see you all next month.
