We will be saving all presentations in this manner to enable users to revisit past presentations - if you have any which might be useful please ensure you're allowed to post them, and email to ruth@joomlasuffolk.co.uk for adding.
Get involved!
Whether you're able to provide a venue for the meetings or want to help with orgaising and promoting JUGS, we'd welcome any offers of help and support! We are particularly interested to hear from those in the North of the county as there is considerable interest in holding a meeting at this end of Suffolk.
We hope to see you all at the meeting tomorrow evening (apologies for the late newsletter!) and look forward to your suggestions for the latest hints and tips! Please also consider browsing the forums and answering any questions that have been posted!
