Hey Mike - I just read the LinkedIn posting. Man - that would TOTALLY Be a Bummer to have it cancelled. I've been wanting to go for a number of years now - but, the past co. I worked for - nor the current gig (my boss was the CEO & manager at my last job - and he started up THIS Co. after I was canned - then he was also Canned last Nov.). Ain't no way he would send me - all he complains about is that he can barely afford to pay our salaries (but, honestly - your boss should NEVER Tell Employees that - its up to THEM To Run the Business - and not keep complaining money is Tight - cause it shows they just don't know how to run a Business!!!).
And, I can't afford to pay my own way - at least not right now. I already go each year to my big Graphics conference (SIGGraph in end of July) - and can't afford another conf. right now! It sure would be a bummer to see the conference just go away... -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions, LLC Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 4:43 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Help save SouthWest Fox!! http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Help-save-Southwest-Fox-122973.S.250929260 A special appeal for consideration from Tamar. Helping get the word out...don't think I can help by making it though; we've had some leadership changes and the Fox isn't something our company wants to continue investing in I'm afraid. :/ I wonder about some sort of online conference instead, where you could subscribe and pay for the sessions ala carte on your own time? Beats them having the site expense. Yes, I know and fully agree that the networking that occurs at conference is extremely valuable (perhaps most valuable) and this doesn't let that occur, but I'm just thinking of Plan B if Plan A fails to happen. -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/714110A54EB9477DB346263621A8138E@Programming2 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
