The APCUG site and some neat things it offers for our group!











I found the APCUG site today and definitely think it could be useful for BGAMUG. I bet some of the members are already using it for ideas and articles.

Here is the site and a short description of what I found today. I am sure there are other neat resources here, too:

APCUG - http://www.apcug.net/ We belong to this group. It is the Association of Personal Computer Groups. They are mostly talking about the Phoenix Regional meeting they had in February. They feature their latest  Jerry Awards here. Plus they have help for their Member User Groups here, like articles, computer tips, articles about communications, and a link to a site called Dave's Bytes, which is not being updated right now. Maybe he is too busy with his radio show, which scrolls around the top of the page.

(from the site) Here are the articles they offer about Communication:
A Journey Into the World of Logo Designing Guenter Schott
Newsletter Submission Guidelines Guenter Schott
Design and Layout of a Newsletter Linda Gonse

Editor's Job Description Fallbrook PC User's Group

They also have ideas for fundraising and How to Grow Your Membership, among other things.

It is definitely a great resource. Please leave a comment on things you find here, or other things to post here on the BGAMUG Club Blog.

Also, if you want to write an occasional article here, please email me or leave a comment. The more editors and writers, the better!
