[Scott McDermott]

The next Seattle SAGE meeting is Thursday, August 8th, 2002
at 7pm.

The UW Rosen/McWilliam Building facility is a secured building. So a
SAGE member will be at the Republican Street entrance until 7:15 P.M. to
open the door for meeting attendees. After that a phone number will be
posted on the door for the SAGE meeting specifically. There is an
"internal extensions only phone" at the Republican Street entrance to
allow you to call building extensions. The posted phone number will be
monitored until at least 7:45 P.M. However, please make every effort to
arrive by 7 P.M.

Talk Abstract:

This will be a pannel discussion on "getting the word out". Topics
such as how to make sure people know what a systems administrator does
and why it's a good idea to keep one around when things are going
smoothly. Internal-to-your-organization self-marketing, as it were.

If you have anecdotes on what has and hasn't worked for you, please
send them to Lee Damon <nomad at castle.org>.
