This is a language-agnostic discussion though we may talk about any web language, server or client side. Think about your own experience and be ready to share! Also, we'll have the guys from GroupCard (a startup right here in Milwaukee) talking about how things have been for them. They were chosen as one of the five winners of Facebook's fbFund competition for their application.

18:04 [Users #web414] web414 card 2.0Sorry for the delay in the web414 card 2.0. Because of the delay, I'll open up domain collection until a bit after the December 2008 meeting as there is room for some more domains on the back. If you are interested, please see the post about the Web414 card 2.0 and let me know right away! We are working on a photo concept for the front: http://www.flickr.com/photos/johndecember/3076877349/ Don't worry about paying me, as I will collect the money only after we complete the card and order it... you will be able to pay via paypal or cash as you wish. It will be about $3 a domain. If you need or want some more prints of the web414 card 1.0 (they are sure to be a collector's item), I still have some, so see me at the December 2008 meeting. Thanks for your patience.

BarCampMilwaukee3 is over…We somehow managed to pull it off again, and BarCampMilwaukee3 happened without any unfortunate incidents, even though there was threat of desks being burned to the ground… In the coming weeks I will try to follow-up on specific things about BarCampMilwaukee3, but for now I will just ramble on aimlessly… Wifi seemed good and the internet connection worked. This probably sets a new record for Bucketworks. I did not get to complete my robot, but it looks like Royce Pipkins may be starting up a Milwaukee Robotics Club. (Possibly meeting at Bucketworks.) We had a desk building competition (sponsored by Bucketworks) and I did not win, despite building two (yes two!) amazing desks… Blake Hall and I (mostly Blake!) started working on the new BarCampMilwaukee web site & infrastructure. We should be done before BarCampMilwaukee4… We’ll be discussing what worked/what didn’t and ideas for future *Camps in Milwaukee, including some sort of “FoodCamp” and DrupalCampWI2, and WordCamp, and others I forgot about… Discussing where? At Web414 on Thursday, October 9th, 2008… 7PM at Bucketworks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin…

19:02 < tapps> is this gonna be streamed? Web414 November 2008 Meeting2008-11-13 19:00 Etc/GMT-5 November 2008 Web414 Meeting — Thursday, November 13th, 2008 — 7pm Topics: Managed Virtualized Dedicated Servers, jQuery Robb Myers from NetSonic will talk about how virtualization has taken the burden of managing a hosted server off of the customer and put it on the hosting company. It will also cover the benefits of resources, "crash" resistance, near seamless hardware upgrades and disaster recovery in hours rather than days. Update: Looks like Brennan Stehling may do a little jQuery intro from his recent .NET Users Group presentation.
Bucketworks Also listed on Facebook. One more thing... We'd appreciate if you use the signup here (you must be logged in) even if you signed-up elsewhere, just so we get a good idea of how many people plan to attend. BarCampMilwaukee3... soon!Good gosh, we're this close to BarCampMilwaukee3! The whole thing goes down October 4th/5th, 2008 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at Bucketworks.
There's also a Friday night pre-BarCamp party event being planned that we need to spread the word about. Details should be available soon. This is our 3rd BarCamp in Milwaukee (hence the "BarCampMilwaukee3" title!) and it feels like we're in the groove of getting these things up and running. This year seems so much more mellow than last year. I've been keeping an eye on registration, and I've seen some interesting people sign up. As of writing this we're at well over 100 people, and I'm guessing we'll see that shoot up in the next week, and get more people who didn't even sign up attending. Remember to check out the proposed sessions to see what people are interested in doing. I'm pretty excited about the Hobby Robotics Make'n'Take Session and of course the The Future of Microblogging session looks amazing!
And have you see the shirt Mike Rohde designed? It incorporates tagging! How sweet is that? So join us! It's not too late to sign up... head over to barcampmilwaukee.com and use the signup wizard to register... We hope to see you there. (Cross-posted from RasterWeb!)
