Silicon Valley Flex User Group. I thought I'd blogged this before but apparently not. Tom Ortega and Jennifer Larkin started a local Flex user group recently and they had their inaugural organizational meeting last month.

This month's meeting is this Thursday in San Francisco. Here's the announcement from Tom:

As promised, the next meeting for Silvafug is looking to be a good one. Here's the tentative schedule for the evening, tentatively scheduled for 7 to 9 pm. (Would a 7:30 to 9:30 work better?)
  • Call To Order
  • Intros (5 Mins)
  • Announcements (5 Mins)
  • A word from our sponsor - roundpeg, Inc. (10 Mins)
  • Beginner Session I (30 Mins)
    • Intro to Flex concept, architecture, framework, key functions, etc.
  • Break (10 Mins)
  • Beginner Session II (30 Mins)
    • Development Lab - 1-2 Page/Component Design
  • SilVaFUG Member Open Forum - Intros/Q&A (25 Mins)
  • Give Away/Closing Comments/Announcements (5 Mins)
As you can see, if you're new to Flex and want to get a jumpstart, this is the meeting to go to. If you're "beyond" the Beginner level, don't worry, we still want you! With one instructor/speaker, we'll need the "advanced" members of the group to walk around and help out the newbies. It'll be a great chance to help out the group and get to know each other.

The Intro to Flex speaker slot is open. If we don't get a volunteer, yours truly [Tom Ortega] will be at the podium. If no one steps up, no complaining as you were warned! =)

roundpeg, our meeting sponsor, is going all out. They're providing the meeting facilities, the lab with 12 computers, the food and yet another FREE TRAINING SEAT! You'll get a taste of the roundpeg Breeze-style training during the second session.

To make sure there's enough food and chairs, we're asking you to RSVP to fugrsvp .at. gmail .dot. com or to my email. Please make the subject line, "8/10 RSVP". In the email body, include the following info: # of people the RSVP is for, whether you'll have your own laptop, and time preference (if any).

I'm sure there will be other items to discuss and I'll bring them to the group beforehand so you can come with answers. If you have something your dying to bring up now, run it by me (if your shy) or post it to the group to get feedback.

Looking forward to seeing you at meeting #2!

I'll be there because, well, I need to learn Flex!

Location: roundpeg, 595 Market St, San Francisco.
