As the final countdown to Leopard begins, this week's MUG Event Calendar
shows some Mac User Groups will be getting a first look straight from
Apple, iLife '08 continues to be a popular topic, but that's not all.
Apple Representatives Greg Willmore and Dreux Ste. Marie will show off
Leopard to enthusiastic groups in Indiana and Texas, respectively. The
creator of iMovie '08 will be the featured speaker at a Final Cut Pro
group in California, while the various components of iLife '08 are on
the agenda in Michigan, Canada and elsewhere in California. A group in
Washington DC will be talking about investing and the Mac and "odd" file
formats will be demystified in Australia. While one group in the United
Kingdom is taking a field trip to this week's MacLiveExpo in London,
they will find friends already there manning the User Group booth as
members from several UK and Irish MUGs help enlighten attendees about
what Mac User Groups offer. (more)

The MUG Center has announced the first in a series of virtual gatherings
to help Mac User Group leaders and interested parties operate, improve
and move their groups into the future.
The first User Group 2.0 Virtual Conference will be held on October 29,
2007 from 9 PM until 10:30 PM ET. While there is no charge for
attendance, a limited number of participants will be involved, due to
the nature of virtual communications. To participate, you will need a
telephone or Skype Out (with headset), iChat and a willingness to
participate in discussions of pro-active MUG leadership. Bring your
ideas and bring your enthusiasm! (more)
