AWUGU Meeting Report about AUG Websites:
by Tom Piper, Coordinator
This Apple World User Group University online gathering of Apple user group
leaders was held at 5:00pm CDST, on September 19, 2022, via Zoom. We had 34
participants for the topic of AUG Websites: Dan and Others. The 73-minute video
(most of Dan’s presentation not recorded due to use of personal information)
can be viewed at: https://youtu.be/JAuP-ADsHvM <https://youtu.be/JAuP-ADsHvM>
(unlisted on YouTube).
This session opened with my welcome, plus a quick review of the meeting
protocols. Doug Smith, Chair of the Apple User Group Advisory Board (AUGAB)
provided backup support during the call.
The first segment was a very interesting presentation from Dan Wassink (Dan’s
Tutorials) describing how he had designed full-featured websites using
WordPress specifically for Apple user groups. Many questions and comments
followed.
The next segment was a detailed presentation by Bob Wood (Tucson Macintosh
Users Group, email@hidden <mailto:email@hidden>) who also requested
links to websites for other user groups to add to their current list. Then
Chuck Palmer (The Villages Apple Users Group) and Ann McKay (Apple Charlestown
User Group) provided brief descriptions of their websites. More questions and
comments followed describing tools and services others also used.
Additional questions were asked, comments made, experiences shared and
suggestions offered by user group leaders with the following excellent links
