January: Ted Dunham, Lowell Observatory (SOFIA, Lowell Research, Discovery Channel Telescope, etc.) February: Dean Salman (remote imaging, imaging in general, etc.) Richard Harshaw Cave Creek, AZ From: sac-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sac-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Palmer Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 4:25 AM To: SAC-Fourm Subject: [sac-forum] Jan 09, 2009 Mtg agenda / speaker? To whom it may concern: Does anyone know the speaker / agenda for the Jan 09, 2009 meeting? I've been checking the SAC website for weeks now. It still has 2008 dates under the meetings link. When you go to the speakers listing, the last entry was for Feb 2008. If you go under the calendar of events link. Sometimes it will display properly and sometimes the page errors out while loading (on multiple systems / platforms). It appears it is because of the .pdf link of all the calendar images, which sometimes loads and sometimes does not. Depending on what version of adobe the computer you are running has installed, etc. However, even if you read the Dec 08 newsletter or other newsletters in the past you only get the date of the meeting, usually nothing else. This has been like this for awhile now. I brought this issue up at one of the past meetings months ago and was told it was in work. Is the board going to address this Fri. regarding timely updates of the website? If we really want to increase attendance and membership we really need to keep the website as up to date as possible and not rely on the forums to desiminate information. New members or guest are only going to view / have access to the SAC website to locate information. If it is not there, then they move on to the next club / information. It would be nice to know who is speaking and the meeting agenda prior to the meetings (for members and guests). It is a long drive for some and this is usefull in determining attendance for many. Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter. Respectfully, Steve Palmer
