Meeting Agenda For July 2010

July 6 - Pot Luck and Southwest Computer Conference Review

It’s time for our Summer Pot Luck already! Same rules as always, please bring enough for at least eight others – it helps if you include serving spoons. If you are unable to bring a dish, please plan to donate $10 to the committee so we can fill in the table as needed.

It’s also our opportunity to share some club business with you. We avoid this at our weekly meetings but we must keep you up to date on what is being discussed and/or decided.

TUGNET has always had the most members at the San Diego conferences – all 17! We want those of you who have not been able to attend to learn a bit from those who have participated in the workshops. One of the purposes of the conference is to bring back as much information as we can. I think you’ll be impressed by what you’ll hear from fellow members.

July 13 – Infogrip

Infogrip, Inc. was founded in 1986, with a mission to develop and market products that provide people with a healthier and more productive way to interact with computers. They are experts in this industry and specialize in providing their clients with all of their assistive technology and ergonomic product and training.

We all know folks who are getting up in years and may need a little help in one way or another. They would appreciate getting to know about these products so why not invite them? It will be an advantage for you to know about them as well, since we never know when we or a loved one will be in need.

You will appreciate hearing Aaron Gaston, Vice President, talk about these ergonomic solutions.

July 20 - Tech Talk or Computing 101

If Jay is well enough, we’ll have him give us some updates on what is coming down the pike and whatever else he has heard or read about. It’s also interesting to learn about the most common problems he is currently seeing.

If that doesn’t work, we’ll have Judy Taylour with another of her fine lessons which are enriching all of us. She brings us subject matter that is helping us to improve, therefore making our computer use more efficient.

Watch your e-mail to learn which it will be.

July 27 - Advanced Bionics

One of my friends in another computer club suggested I contact this company. He had just become acquainted with them and was quite impressed, being hearing impaired himself, and therefore thought TUGNET members would be interested in what they have to offer.

With our goal of introducing new technology that might apply to any of us, and since we have a number of members who are hearing impaired (and we all know others who are as well), I invited them to give us a presentation. Advanced Bionics mission is to improve lives by developing, manufacturing, marketing, and supporting high-quality, state-of-the-art hearing technology for those with severe to profound hearing loss.

We should all become familiar with Advanced Bionics. AB is the only American company developing cutting-edge cochlear implant technology that restores hearing to the deaf and allows recipients to hear their best today, tomorrow, and always.
