[PIUG List] PIUG Wiki training webinar begins in two hours

= There is still opportunity to join t= oday’s training webinar or sign up for the next two. Here’s some additional information based on feedback and other observations.

Training will last just one hour. The actual GoToWebinar session is scheduled for longer to allow participants to login early, which= is very highly recommended, and stay online longer to ask questions.

Nearly half of the volunteers for PIUG committees, task forces and working groups = have not yet signed up for the wiki. Your team leaders are counting on you to use the wiki to contribute to PIUG teams. Please signup for wiki training and learn why the team wiki spaces a= re so useful.

Issues with the PIUG Discussion List are driving wiki development. The PIUG Board will be considering the changeover in the next month. If you want to know what the wiki PIUG Discussion Forum is all about= and how to use it, join a wiki training session.

Three upcoming one-hour tutorials on using the PIUG Wiki:

• Thursday, November 20, 2008, 11:00am - noon Eastern time=
• Friday, November 21, 2008, 11:00am - noon Eastern time
   
• Monday, November 24, 2008, 2:00pm - 3:00pm Eastern time

         &n= bsp;

  Full details are available on the wi= ki at http://wiki.piug.org/display/PIUG/Wiki+Training+Webinar+Details. You will need to login to the wiki, and register first if you haven’t already, to get access to the login access details.

   

  Before the webinar, please login to GoToWebinar up to 15 minutes in advance to go through the simple registrati= on and application installation process. We need to start the webinar on = time since one hour is barely enough time to complete the planned agenda. You may want to plan on staying online longer to ask questions after the semi-= formal presentation. In addition, you might consider reviewing "The PIUG Wiki - A New Medium for PIUG Collaboration and Discussion" fr= om the PIUG 2008 Northeast Conference since it describes much of the wiki&rsqu= o;s purpose and function and could help you understand the webinar better.

   

  Over 100 people have registered for = the PIUG wiki so far. If you haven’t yet, I need to remind you: do n= ot to use your email address as your USERNAME. Please use your name or recognizable alias such as your name with periods, underscore characters or= the like. PIUG members should use the same email address for the wiki as they do for their membership via 123SignUp in order to access members-only functionality and content on the wiki. Either email address can be cha= nged at a later date.

   

  If none of these times works for you, let me know your preferences as I plan additional sessions in the next few weeks.

   

  I look forward to hosting you at a webinar.

   

  Best regards,

   

  Tom
