First Meeting - Wednesday, October 15th

Presenter Mentor is a new user group whose goal is to develop local technical speakers. Have you ever wanted to speak at a user group meeting? Would you like to hobnob with the other speakers at TechFest? This is your opportunity to get on the agenda at a local user group or event.

The first half of the meeting will be somewhat like a Toastmasters meeting – community members will have the opportunity to speak and have their presentation skills critiqued. The second half of the meeting will be devoted to having experienced speakers share their tips and tricks.

Date:      Wednesday, October 15
Location: Microsoft LC2 Room 1105 (note: this room is in the building next to the building that we usually meet in.)

    What's the access code to join the CodeZone group?

    And why does CodeZone always want access codes to join groups?

    Requiring potential members to have an access code before joining seems counter-productive to growing community. It would be better to have a moderator approve people that want to join. (I know you're not CodeZone, but it seemed like a good place to make this point.)
