Happy to help, Prue -- as are all the other good folk who have contributed to the leadership team and to Canterbury Software Inc over the past 12 months of our development :-) It's always great to hear that it has been of assistance! > Right now you are making the Tech directory. Although I am a forum member I > do not see myself as directly part of the software cluster group. > Should I submit an entry for the directory for the College of Computing Yes, do it, do it now! The tech directory is open for *all* Canterbury organisations with an interest in the software industry. You don't have to be a member to submit a listing (though, to be fair to our supporting members, they get an extended entry :-). > ?Do you have associate membership status?! Thank you for your guidance. At the moment, our newly filed Constitution has just the one membership status, that of individual. We did debate having an institutional one, but figured Canterbury Software is all about encouraging personal relationships and networking amongst our community, and we wanted to ensure that that remained our focus. We've tried to keep membership as low as possible ($50 is not too bad, compared to many professional groups...), and have been lucky to have support from government folk who appreciate our aims. So the short answer is, no, we haven't got associate membership status. But you are welcome to come along to the AGM (4.30pm, November 29, the Canterbury Innovation Incubator in Manchester St), and propose it! Cheers, Vicki P.S.
