Get Involved & Software Giveaways

Are you a regular NEAUG attendee?  Have you benefited from networking with NEAUG members?

Twice a year, Adobe generously supplies NEAUG and other Adobe User Groups with up to $2100 worth of software to give away to a deserving person.  The strings are that it can't be an upgrade, you can't throw in your own money with the credit to get something bigger, and you can't get more than one item. However, please note: You can't get Dreamweaver and Photoshop as individual items, but you could get the CS3 Web Premium package, which contains both products plus more stuff.

NEAUG has decided to award those who contribute most to a group in a given 6 month period with this software award.  We do this by a point system.  This is outlined as follows:

  • Speaking to the group for a 1 - 1hr 15 min presentation:  10 points*
  • Speaking to the group for a 45 minute presentation: 5 points*
  • Recruit someone other than yourself to speak to the group: 3 points
  • 10 minute talk: 2 points
  • Set up and clean up lunch: 1 point
  • Attend a meeting: 1 point
  • Book review (REQUIRED if you win a book in a drawing): 1 point
  • Additions to the website: up to 10 points.   10 points would be something significant, such as a graphic redesign or cleaning up HTML/CSS.  Contributing links for our link list would be much less than that.
  • Provide giveaways for NEAUG meetings: up to 10 points
  • Provide a tutorial for the NEAUG site:  up to 10 points
  • Or suggest something!!!

* These presenters get a book of their choice from the schwag giveaways for the day.

We appreciate all you do for us! As always, tell your friends about our meetings and encourage them to come.  We'd love to meet you! And contact Jen if you'd like to get involved with the group, whether it's in one of the ways listed above, or whether you've got some other great idea for how you can give back to the group.
