why don't you, me, and the others in the group take on real world projects
and charge a few bucks for the end product. this way those who want to learn can
watch and learn and those who want to participate can do so and get a final cut
of the fee. for example if a company wants a basic static webpage say 5 pages.
we can have our css people layout the site, then our typography enthusiasts
handle the copy. and our graphics people create the images and illustrations.
and we could keep the mock up and show it to other potential clients.
even more, we could have our dynamic programmers create a simple database
and hook it up with a language like php or asp, whatever and add more value to
the finished product. finally, tie the end product to be social network friendly
as well. what do you think of that? if we started with one job a week at around
$1000 a piece that will surely give use enough for the effort and to straighten
out a business office. let me know your thoughts.

Bryan,
We've got to kinds of meetings. The first is a simple presentation.
Those topics vary and we know about them usually about a month in advance.
Stuart is in charge of those through the Cleveland PCUGs Web Sig.
We
also allow other organizations to post their web related meetings. Some few
have taken us up on this.
Finally we run classes and study groups.
Because my income has dropped and my expenses risen (of course) I can't afford
to do more than one or two of these a month for free. But if donations are
present to help cover the costs or I charge, then class schedules will be
based on level of experience.
So for beginners in certain categories we
will start out using the Head First series from O'Reilly. Each of these would
have a prerequisite of knowledge in the preceding book (or other
prerequisites:
I will be putting together a full list on the meetup so
folks can go there. But basically the classes would include introductory HTML
and CSS. Then from there Php and mysql introductory. Then Javascript. And we
would move on with other classes for more advanced folks. Each of these would
be a series of classes in their own right.
Hope that
helps.
