Hey Joy,
Could you see if Kay Ethier could have a Seminar type meeting for us on
the Saturday after their FrameMaker Conf? That would be the 11th. It
would be best to have it in the morning - say 9 - 12ish w/ Breaks &/or
Lunch. Perhaps someone local could come to our Sept or Oct meeting(s) &
announce the FrameMaker/DITA Conference. Someone could also subscribe to
& post an announcement for it to our STC Austin General Listserve.
Thank you,
Marian
