Newsletter Status

April 22, 2016 by Joel Gerdeen

Just a remind that Mini’app’les newsletters starting in July 1978 are available on this website and can be accessed from the Newsletter tab.  We transitioned from printed, mailed newsletters in April 2014. Most of the newsletters included are from Dan Buchler’s collection as provided by Bruce Thompson.

I just added October 1993 which was missing, thanks to Tom Ostertag who had it in his collection.   We are missing about 11 newsletters noted below though all of these may not have been published.  If you have any of these, let us know and we will arrange for scanning and addition to the collection.

Missing months    1-79; 6,8,11-80; 3-86; 7-87; 1,2-93; 8-02; 8-03; 5-08

Mini’app’les Meeting, Tuesday Apr. 19 at 7:00 p.m., Q&A at 6:30 p.m.

April 14, 2016 by Tim Drenk

The next Mini’app’les meeting is Tuesday, April 19th, the third Tuesday of the month, at the Hackfactory (3119 E. 26th Street Minneapolis, MN 55406). At 6:30 p.m., members of the board and other knowledgable people will be available if you have specific questions you would like answered. We will do our best to address your question and help you troubleshoot the issue.

After talking about some of the current news, we look at productivity tips at 7:00 p.m.. We all want to get the most done with the least amount of effort. Several members have volunteered to show us different methods that have helped them be more productive for the tasks they need to get done. Sometimes the things we consider mundane are the tips that others are looking for to solve something for them. We hope you will join us and share tips that help you be more productive.
