Apple User Group Leaders:
Our kickoff AWUGU online gathering of Apple user group leaders was held at
8:00pm CST, on April 20, 2020, via the Cisco Webex Meeting app. We had 25
participants who joined for the topic of “Online User Group Meetings”. The full
hour and a half video can be viewed at:

This session opened with our welcome and a 3-minute parody video about a
face-to-face meeting showing classic online hiccups. Sandy Foderick followed
with a brief description of AWUGU history, and emphasized that goals over the
years were still the same: to increase our community, learn from each other,
and appreciate our efforts.
Next was my presentation about appleJAC User Group experience with streaming
our meetings using Facebook Live. This was followed by three excellent
presentations by George Rubin and Eckart Goette (Naples MUG), David Ginsburg
(Suburban Chicago Apple Users), and Robert Zimmerman and Rick Hyman (MacinTech
Users Group) about Zoom and other virtual meeting experiences. I am also
grateful to all of those (like Martin Kelly in London) who asked questions and
offered additional information.
Considerable positive feedback has been received about this meeting including
suggestions for future meeting topics, thoughts about our meeting times/dates,
and the kind of information we should provide on a new AWUGU resource page
hosted by the Apple User Group Advisory Board. AUG resource information has
already been shared such as a package of documentation about using Zoom for
MacinTech meetings (available to any participant upon request).
We are very pleased that this first meeting was very successful. Our next
tentative meeting is scheduled for 8:00pm CDT, May 18, 2020, using Zoom (as
popularly requested) featuring a new topic about “How to Get New Younger
Members and Retain Existing Members”. All AWUGU previous registrants will
receive an invitation to this next meeting.
To become a participant, any interested AUG leader must first register with the
AWUGU Coordinator by emailing their name, location, and user group name and web
link to email@hidden <mailto:email@hidden>. Registration must be
received by May 16 in order to receive a Zoom Meeting invitation (a download of
the free Zoom app in advance is also necessary). Be prepared to share valuable
knowledge and experience to support the efforts of Apple user groups everywhere.
