Post to group through Google Wave

wade — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 22:35:24 +0000

I have created a Google Group for us so that you may “wave” to everyone in the group via Google Wave. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a pretty URL or email address because they were already used and Google has a lame rule that they can only be used once, even if the previous instance has been deleted (which was by me, which makes it even more lame).

Visit the Google Group home page for more information. Join the group and then add the address “utah-graphic-arists@googlegroups.com” to your Google Contacts list. You can then add the group address to new waves and everyone will have access to it.

Note that Wave will bark that that user does not have a valid Wave account when you try to add it. Ignore that and simply strike the return key and the address will be added to your contact list.

Some membership requests for our LinkedIn group were accidently declined. If that was you, please resubmit your request and it will be approved. We apologize for the inconvenience.

job announcement form no longer requires account

wade — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:50:04 +0000

I am pleased to announce that the job announcement form on the website no longer requires the user to be logged in. This is significant as most people posting job announcements are managers, human resources staff, or recruiters and therefor have no reason to have an account. If you are someone that only created an account to post a job, please send me a note so that we can remove your profile.

Presenters and ideas needed for summer gatherings

wade — Mon, 19 May 2008 23:23:13 +0000

Our presenter for our June gathering is not going to be able to make it. This leaves us with an empty calendar. What topics would like to have presentations on? what places you would like to visit? what local artist that you are interested in meeting?

February gathering: Renee Lee on Photography

wade — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 19:29:48 +0000

Don’t forget that our February gathering is tomorrow night, Wednesday, 27 February. I am excited to announce that Renee Lee will be presenting on photography. Renee runs the Salt Lake Photo Club and will come to talk her work and tips and tricks.

As usual, we meet at seven o’clock at Retrospect Studios downtown (230 South 500 West #245, second floor, around corner). The building is on the West side of the street and says ARTSPACE across the front. Park in the lot just South of the Artspace lot to avoid getting towed (in the un-numbered spaces).

Please spread the word. We are excited to see you there!

UGAF LinkedIn Group

wade — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 16:54:37 +0000

I am excited to announce that we now have a LinkedIn Group for UGAF members. You can add a note to your LinkedIn profile that states that you are a member and a UGAF badge will appear. Join the UGAF LinkedIn group here. Please note that I will have to approve each, so be patient as it might taken a few minutes. Please also note that if you want the UGAF badge to appear on your profile, you will have to edit your profile, scroll to the bottom where groups are, click “settings” next to the UGAF badge, and then change “Displaying the group logo to non-group members:” to “Yes” and save the changes.
