There is no newsletter in July. But there will be a combined newsletter in August. Then we will resume our normal newsletter delivery schedule.
Program Topics Beyond August
There will be NO MEETING in July!
AUGUST — In August, we will have a Work Session! Bring your laptops, problems, projects – and Participate in the "Bring Your TMG Problems and Projects to the RUG" Workshop.
So that we can include our join.me participants, we will be performing a test run for join.me during the first 15-20 minutes or so. This is mainly for passing the PRESENTER role among those who would like to do so. Then the excitement begins!
SEPTEMBER — On 9 September, we will have two sessions: (1) "HRE Update and Live Q&A" by Robin Lamacraft and Don Ferguson, and (2) "Migration Toolkit" by Barbara Levergood.
We will start with a pre-recorded video update on HRE by Robin Lamacraft from 9:00-10:00am. Then Robin and Don Ferguson will be live from Australia (Robin in Adelaide and Don in Melbourne) and John Lucas will be live on-site at 10:00am to take questions. To learn about HRE progress, go to https://github.com/History-Research-Environment/HRE-the-history-of-everything.
Following a short break, at about 10:40am, Barbara will have an hour presentation about her Migration Toolkit; this will also be followed by a Q&A session.
OCTOBER — In October, Geoff Rasmussen is scheduled to make a presentation (remotely) about Legacy 9 – "Learning About Legacy Family Tree Software".
NOVEMBER — John Clark is tentatively scheduled to present "Genealogical Trees AND Genetic Trees using TMG" at our first session in November.
There is a good possibility that John Cardinal may make a presentation later this year.
We need help! We need an expanded pool of presenters, whether speaking on site at our meetings or presenting remotely via join.me. Suggestions and offers of support should be addressed to: Programs at Rootsusers.Org.
Important Information — JOIN.ME
Be aware that the latest JOIN.ME app for Windows or Mac requires users to create a NEW FREE account when they open the app before you can join the RUG meeting as usual.
Download the join.me app from the http://www.join.me/apps website by clicking on the applicable mobile or desktop app. There is a Q&A page on the website which can help if you are having difficulties — http://help.join.me/knowledgebase?_ga=1.36103592.986824069.1386516973
Note that you still do NOT need to pay and download the full-featured version of the software or download the free trial to join the meeting. Simply download one of the free apps.
