We have finalised the agenda. This one has been a little trickier as a few speakers were not available until November which. I am really excited to announce that we have Glenn Jones speaking first on Thursday. He has won 17 tee-shirt competitions on the popular website threadless.com and you can see an awesome collection of his work here http://www.threadless... . If you are really interested Glenn?s work or have some questions about his designs please submit any questions you have to [masked] and the best will be used on the night (don?t be shy).

We have Justine coming to talk to us about usability, Justine has been a long time meetup member and we welcome her this Thursday to the meetup podium. We have Matt up next getting ?dirty? with SlideShow pro, how to create a good looking website in minutes with SlideShowPro. And for the grand finale we will have John and Karl with a run down of what we have covered since the start of the year how its helped you and what do you want more of. Hopefully this little conversation will help set the direction for 2008 and nexts years uber meetups.

    • “ The little demo of Slideshow Pro was pretty good. I'd seen this before on the interwebs but hadn't gotten around to checking it out. ”
    • mike forbes (+1 guest)
      “ I felt things were a bit last minute & rushed, but overall good, as always ”
    • “ Another cool meetup. Not so much useful content this time, but definately good to have a retrospective session at the end. ”
    • Dan Willis (+1 guest)
      “ It was awesome - very inspiring. In fact now I have a million ideas for t-shirt designs so I got up early today to start working on them. ”
    • “ Once again, a really good night. Enjoyed listening to Glenn talk about Threadless - cool guy. Sat up the back this time, was a bit hard to hear I found sometimes. Visibility was fine tho. ”

      “ briing it onnnnnnnnnnnnnn! ”
    • “ I found the usability presentation excellent for the environment that I work in. And I still state that the ball was passed 14 times. I look forward to more presentations like this. Threadless tee-shirts. I have recommended this to a number of students that have been looking at a way to get there work out there, and look forward to seeing some of their designs on the threadless tee-shirt site soon. Would like to see a few more case-studies though. Kind of wish I had found out about web meet sooner after seeing the recap. Thanks. ”
    • “ Ive been a Glenn tshirt fan for a while so it was awesome to be able to meet him in person. I really enjoyed the usability presentation also. Its good to be reminded of such things. ”
    • “ I liked the ad hoc style for of Glens presentation, he showed pics, you prompted with questions, which in turn generated further questions from the audience. The pregen of questions means you can be sure you are delivering to the audiences questions and more. Also enjoyed the usability and re-cap pieces , good work. ”
    • “ really enjoyed hearing Glennz speek. I particularly enjoy the design/art speakers >.> ”
    • “ This was a lot more interesting than the last couple. Threadless talk, while not about web, was inspiring. I liked Matt's segment too. ”
