Hi All
Here is the evening schedule for Wednesday June 24 (I assume they are in 
the same room):

*Corvair Preservation Foundation Meeting_                  _  5:30 pm—6:00 pm

Chapter Editors, Webmasters, & Officers Meeting_  __  _6:15pm—6:45pm

CORSA Annual Meeting_                                              _  6:45pm—7:30pm

Corvanatics Group Meeting_                                      _    7:30 pm—9:00 pm

Virtual Vairs Group Meeting_                                      _    9:00 pm—10:30 pm*


We can stretch the 30 minutes a bit, the CPF meeting is scheduled to end 
at 6 and our meeting to start at 6:15. So that does give a 15 minute 
time to set up, and meet and greet as people come in.

One of the things we covered at Tacoma and Branson (newsletter editors 
and webmasters) were how to share information. Using the Chapters forum 
seemed to be the best way to share flyers and newsletters. We also 
discussed having a password protected online graphics library, which 
could be shared by editors and webmasters. Bryan is working on the 
library currently and it may be in place prior to the convention. If you 
have good quality graphics, such as chapter logos, please bring them on 
a jump drive. If you lifted the graphic off a website, copied it from a 
newsletter pdf, or scanned it from a hard copy newsletter, it is 
_probably_ not a high quality graphics. (There may be exceptions.)

We also discussed page layout software, the three most prevalent were 
Word (or generic equivalent), Microsoft Publisher and Adobe Creative 
Suite (Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator). With the shortage of time 
we probably should not get into this during the meeting. The Chapters 
forum would be a much better place to discuss it.

If there are any topics you would like see covered at the meeting please 
feel free to post them here.

Gary Moore

I will gladly show up with an agenda if that's what we want to do.  We don't have a terribly long time (only scheduled for 30 minutes at this point), so we probably shouldn't try to cover too much.  Other than intros, I was thinking about presenting some options for web sites for your club.  Some of the possibilities and pitfalls of the various options, how to get an account here, traps to avoid, etc.
