Madison Ruby on Rails User Group
We are a usergroup in Madison, Wisconsin, focused on the web application framework Ruby on Rails. Although we call ourself a “Rails” group, we welcome meetings on pure Ruby topics.
Nonprofits and Section 508: Is Your Website Accessible?
In this workshop we will discuss what it means to be an accessible website, what the government mandates (and for whom), what kinds of questions you should be asking your developers to make sure you are accessible, how to move beyond government mandates and what the future holds for accessibility. This workshop is appropriate for the non-technical, but the presenter can answer very technical questions as well.
This workshop is one of the Madison Nonprofit Day Technology series. Presented by Greg Tarnoff at the Goodman Community Center, 149 Waubesa Street, at 1pm.
Madison's September Ubuntu Hour
Please note that there was a time change starting in August. Ubuntu Hours will no longer be on Sundays, but rather on Saturdays.
Setting in OpenOffice.org messed up? Scared you're going to mess up your partitions?Heard you could get a free operating system, but not sure where to start?
You've come to the right place!
Ubuntu Hours are a time when new users can come and ask questions without being afraid they will be made to feel stupid by experienced users. It's also a time when you won't feel crowded out by other discussions. It may not always be 1-on-1 support, but it will be close and might even be a better ratio!

As for Ubuntu Hour instructors, in the words of Ubuntu Loco leader Anthony Hook:
