Is your Non-Profit an educational organization? As its main function? Or is teaching one of many services you offer? What do you teach? How do you teach it? Do you have classrooms? With computers? What software do you use for teaching in the classroom? Do you have online courses? What online software do you use online? How do you establish your curriculum? How do you perform evaluations? How do you track student progress? Do you work with other educational institutions? Other certifying agencies? What constraints to they impose on your teaching programs?
We'll have a demonstration of Moodle by Marc Paré and perhaps a representative from KW's Desire To Learn. And, of course, we'll have a Round Table discussion on how each of us are managing our organizations education needs.

Do you manage projects? Software development projects? Are they big projects or small projects? Are there many or few developers? Is it complex software or easy to understand? Are you developing for external customers or your own organization? Are there many opportunities for testing or only a few? Can you develop new code while testing, or is development dependent on test results? Are transient coding errors tolerated or not? Do you need Agile or Waterfall Development?
Let's discuss different coding methodologies with Darcy Casselman and Eric Gerlach, Senior Director at Oracle/Netsuite. We'll have our regular Round Table discussion, where we can all contribute our expertise.

Does your organization write documents? Work with spreadsheets? Create graphics? Make presentations? Do you use an Office Suite of applications? Do you need support for your Office Suite? Do you use Free/Libre and Open Source Software? Would you like to put all this together?
Welcome to the Inaugural Meeting of the LibreOffice User Group!
KWNPSA/NetSquaredKW will host a LibreOffice representative to discuss plans for establishing a local LibreOffice community group. Then Marc Paré, a long-time member of KWNSPA who also works for the LibreOffice Foundation will make a presentation about the LibreOffice organization and member-based meritocracy.
Together we'll establish a common monthly date and place where members would meet so the LibreOffice User Group can get underway for August.
And, of course, we'll have our round-table problem-solving discussion on all things related to LibreOffice and User Groups.

Are you a visual learner? Are you a visual presenter? Is a picture worth a thousand words? What's an infographic, anyway? Do you use images to convey ideas? Bullet points? Wall of text? What's the best way to get your message across? And what do you use to get your message across?
We'll explore some of the different software available to create presentations.

- We need someone to demonstrate Microsoft Power Point -- any volunteers?

Marking Up Text for Structured Documents
- Date

In October 2017 we discussed markup languages used by some members of the KWNPSA. In this iteration of the topic, long-time member Steve Izma discusses his use of markup languages in “real-world” circumstances throughout his professional career in publishing. Where documentation requires the need of serious structure, markup languages may be the right fit for the job.
This discussion will be a preliminary look at how logical document structure not only improves communication but also becomes an important archival format, allowing more programmable access to the content of documents over a variety of future contexts. While structured documents can be quite complex, markup systems allow for much simpler ways of creating and editing structured text. We will talk about how to keep the writing environment as uncluttered as possible so that the writer can concentrate on content creation and organization.
