Hi all: I wanted to make a last call to anyone in the Twin Cities who may want to join us in an Articulate Group. We'll be meeting soon and we wanted to make sure we don't miss anyone. Let me know if you want to join us Thanx Chuck Nemer

Hi, Leah! Please go here and register so we can get your e-mail address. Our first meeting was December 19 but we haven't sent out the presos yet to all our users. Too much holiday egg nog. :) Our second meeting should be announced shortly, probably in February.

Thanks, All! No we have not had our first meeting yet. Get things going is harder than it may look. We had hoped the first meeting would have been last month but that did not pan out. We'll be announcing the schedule of the first few meetings shortly. We have a central site located that should be good for our first few meetings. Part of the problem is that both Chuck Nemer and I have been so darn busy lately with our separate client projects and other matters. Also, many folks did not like our using Google Groups to organize things so we've been looking at something else. No, the survey was not marketing. Sorry anyone felt that way. We'll be sharing the results at our first meeting, among other things. Lot of good info sharing. If anyone NEW is interested in joining this group (and have not expressed interest before), please use this form.

I hope to update this thread shortly. Chuck had to drop out of being a co-organizer at the 11th hour due to work needs and this was really unfortunate as we had the first meeting planned and a good location. In short, I need help to get things going and I'll explain more shortly. And, no, the survey was not for marketing. It was for eventual knowledge sharing and gathering interests and other needed information.

Hi Al, Just an FYI that responding via email includes your signature here and you can edit the post to remove it if you like.

The first meeting of Twin Cities Articulate user group has finally been scheduled: Monday, December 19, 2016, at the Roseville Public Library in Roseville, Minnesota. Start time is 6:00 pm. More details to follow.

Hi Gerry,
No I did not receive any invite yesterday - but I stumbled around this forum and saw a link. I have "signed/registered" to the Google Group. Can you confirm you now see me in it? I am pretty sure I done this in the past. Also I get emails from you - but it might be nice if you confirm where you sent the invite to - which email address...

Thank you,
Cindy

Hey, Cindy!

Hmm, that's weird. I sent it to the e-mail address that you just indicated again this morning with the form.

I need to send some more invites to the Google Group later today as five more folks have expressed interest. Let me know after today if you've received the invite or not.

In other news, we have 51 folks in the Google Group. I'm happily surprised by all the interest.

  Thanks Gerry - no I never received anything. I have completed the form several times and also joined the google group but never hear anything back. I trust that thus far there has not been any group meetings. Thanks Cindy

    I also signed up via Google as requested and then I received a Survey to "assess group needs" - there were so many specific questions that I felt like it was a marketing survey so I jumped out of it.

Hi, Kate! Yup, we've got you on the list. Expect to receive a survey from us very shortly. Please take the time to answer it to give us some early direction and also encourage knowledge and experience sharing among members.

We haven't scheduled the date of the first meeting in September yet. But I'd expect that shortly when Chuck gets back in town.

BEST!

P.S. We're up to 57 folks with an additional 13 folks invited who have not accepted the invite to the Google Group yet.

Because of issues we're having, along with some of the invitees, we're looking at an alternative to using Google Groups.

For those who might be interested in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN) Articulate User Group, please complete this membership survey before September 9, 2015:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1yKFQMdeLz_0aPdMJnnaaU5FbBic2GUqq26K3I41n438/viewform?c=0&w=1

Just by completing the survey, we'll be sure to include you as a member and keep you informed. Just be sure to include your name and e-mail address in the survey.

The responses to the survey will help us in forming the group and gauge member's needs and preferences, as well as begin knowledge sharing and help us possibly identify speakers, topics, and resources.

Our kick-off meeting is still scheduled for late September.

Hi Jennifer,

I don't think there is a listing, but you can let us know that you'd like to connect and we'd get you in touch with other folks in you area by filling out the form here.

Hi all,

Just to clarify it looks like there are two forms -

Articulate has put together this form to help gather information from folks in the community so that we could help you organize meet ups.

The other form that Gerry shared is one he created, as far as I know, so I'll let him weigh in on any specifics of that.

And correction, there is a user group/meeting listing here. Boost your Skills and Connect with E-Learning Heroes in Your Town
