Web608
Web608 is a collective of amateur and professional technology enthusiast who are helping grow the web community in Madison and the surrounding area. By bringing people together in the Southern Wisconsin, we can work and learn from each other to build a stronger understanding while enriching each others lives.Madison PHP Launch Party
This is the first meeting of the NEW Madison PHP Meetup Group. It will be at the Brocach Irish Pub. You will be able to order food and drinks as you wish. There is no carding at the door, just if you order alcohol so if you're not 21 feel free to come out.
Please RSVP yes, no or maybe (on meetup.com) so I know how many people to expect.
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.
Building Your Website with ExpressionEngine 2.0
Nonprofits need a website for a number of reasons, including: for presence, information distribution, communication, connection with a wider, broader audience, to create an organizational brand, and more. While the debate on “whether or not your nonprofit needs a website has been settled and filed, the debate on which content management system (CMS) is still wide open. There are a multitude of content management systems (CMS), all offering various benefits for you and your organization. This presentation will discuss ExpressionEngine as one of the many CMSs for you to choose from. It will offer a brief comparison to WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal; tips and techniques on choosing a web developer, future proofing your website, and more.
This Madison Nonprofit Day workshop is presented by Ben Seigel, exp designs. Ben runs the Madison Web Design & Development Meetup.

Postgres talk from Josh Berkus
"Josh Berkus has been a member of the PostgreSQL Core Team since 2002. He is CEO of PostgreSQL Experts Inc., a PostgreSQL professional services company. Prior to working on PostgreSQL, he worked with a variety of other software, including OpenOffice.org, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle PL/SQL, and (shudder) COM+. He also does Perl." - http://it.toolbox.com/people/josh_berkus/
I apologize for the short notice, but Josh graciously offered to do a talk while he's in town on business.
Josh suggested a "PostgreSQL talk, or just Q&A." I don't have any more details than that since we've been working on getting a venue and such, so it'll probably be pretty laid back. Some people might even go out for food or drinks afterwards. You never can tell about kids these days.
Please distribute this information as widely as possible. We'd like a good turnout and that might be difficult with short promotional time.

Zero to 60 Server
Got a beige box setting around? Not sure what all those letters in LAMP mean? Just enticed by sexy car metaphors?
No matter your ill in getting a server set up, come grab some of Eric's magic server elixir. Think of it as a server installfest on steroids. (note: MadLUG does not do random drug testing)
SOME DIFFERENCES: Two things will be different in this meeting than others.
1) It will be hands on. Bring a box...maybe a VirtualBox (TM Oracle - by the way, give us money, please!) Also, please bring media. We'll have some install disks but unless you want whatever we randomly give you, best to have your own.
