=================================
MacBUS, NEWSLETTER CONTENT, WOZ AT PACKMUG & NAB FCPUG NETWORK GATHERING
ON THE USER GROUP REPORT
This time around we focus on MUG activities in several regional locations
and highlight a contributor to one of The MUG Center's resource email lists.
- Maria Arguello of MacBUS gives us a follow-up look at the recent
Philadelphia User Group Leaders Conference hosted by her group last
month, and why it was such a success, another one is planned for later
this year.
- Frank Petrie of the South Jersey Apple Users Group is a new and
prolific contributor to The MUG Center's Newsletter Content email list.
Frank tells us why this is a good idea and gives some tips on how to
produce easy, useful product reviews.
- Ben McNeely of PackMUG, the North Carolina State University Macintosh
Users Group, talks about how and why his group extended an invitation to
Steve Wozniak to speak and their school, why he accepted, and what kinds
of activities he'll enjoy during the visit.
- Lesa Snider of the Apple User Group Advisory Board attended the
National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Convention in Las Vegas and
tells us about the Final Cut Pro User Group Network's Gathering, and
hints at a user group gathering at the upcoming MacDesign Conference in
Chicago.
The User Group Report is the Internet radio show hosted by Chuck Joiner
that features interviews with people making news in the user group community.

HOUSTON AREA APPLE USERS GROUP PROMOTED IN SWITCHER-LIKE IMOVIE
Philip Booth of the Houston Area Apple Users Group is promoting his group
in an iMovie styled after Apple's popular Switcher ads. Distributed
through his .Mac site, the "ad" has just the right touch of humor and
production values to make it a great way to promote a user group. Nice
job, Philip!

MUG ROUNDTABLES: GETTING YOUR GROUP INVOLVED
The MUG Masters section has been updated with a new article by Chris
Kiltz of the Josephine County Macintosh User Group . Chris' article on
MUG Rountables: Getting Your Group Involved discusses her group's
implementation of a meeting format that gets helps cover a topic
thoroughly, is a bit less stressful on the group leaders, and, most
importantly, gets more people involved in the presentation.

MUG TIPS & TRICKS: NEWSLETTER CONTENT SOURCES
Quality newsletter content is something every group struggles with sooner
or later. While the ideal would be to have all of your articles and
information "homegrown," that isn't realistic. It is also a shame to have
so many excellent articles produced for so many small audiences. The MUG
Center's Newsletter Content Email List was established to help MUG
newsletter authors and editors both share and receive quality content.
We've seen some new authors appear on the list recently, with some
interesting reviews of both commercial and shareware offerings. If you
are in need of articles to help make your newsletter more valuable, check
it out. If you're an author of newsletter articles and would like to
reach a larger audience and possibly be published in hundreds of MUG
publications around the world, please join up and share. The instructions
are simple and there is no cost at all for participation. Find out all
about it, along with other, more commercial sources of newsletter
content, in our Newsletter Content section.
