Perth Web Standards Group — June meeting

three chrome stars

That time has rolled around again! Thurs­day, June 16, is the June meet­ing of the Perth Web Stan­dards Group.

The event will be held once more at Edith Cowan Uni­ver­sity, Mt Law­ley, in the tav­ern. Full details are avail­able, as always, on the Web Stan­dards Group site, but to sum­marise the first pre­sen­ta­tion will be kick­ing off at around 6.30pm and to cover cater­ing costs there will be a $4 charge.

This month, we have two local speakers.

Kara O’Halloran, from Eduka, will present The Joy and Ter­ror of Imple­ment­ing Web Stan­dards, an account of her expe­ri­ences in guid­ing Eduka’s flag­ship CMS prod­uct to pro­duce standards-compliant code. From what I’ve heard so far, the ter­ror prob­a­bly out­weighed the joy (at least to start with), but lots was learnt along the way and Kara will be pass­ing on some tips for those of us in sim­i­lar situations.

Fel­low WSG organ­iser Vicki Berry will then present excerpts from her TODCON 8 pre­sen­ta­tions. Vicki was a speaker last month at this con­fer­ence in Orlando, Florida, and from all reports her ses­sions were very well received. We’re lucky to have international-level tal­ent right here at home! Flickr cer­tainly shows a good time was had by all (yes, I’m insanely jeal­ous, Vicki!).

If you’re likely to come along, please drop us a line — perth@webstandardsgroup.org so we know how many to cater for.
