We do not have a sponsor for this event yet, so if your company is willing and able to sponsor it, please let me know. Typically, we ask for $100 to buy finger food.

- I hope I'll be able to time a Brisbane trip to coincide with a Qld Tech Writer meeting. Having the dates well in advance definitely helps -- thanks Hamish!

Upcoming Qld Tech Writer Meetings
It is great to see that we are getting new members each event - who knew there were so many tech writers in Brisbane! Please continue to spread the word to your colleagues. There also seems to be a lot of activity in Brisbane at the moment, with lots of positions open and people looking to move about. Good that things seem healthy for us here.
We have scheduled the next two meetings to give people advance notice. The dates are:
* Wednesday, 9 July 2008
* Thursday, 4 September 2008
Venue is TBA - we'll send out further details when we have them. Again, if anyone is able to sponsor the events, it would be appreciated.
To be notified of upcoming events, join the Queensland Technical Writers (qldtechwriter) list. Go to http://au.groups. yahoo.com/group/qldtechwriter/ or subscribe by emailing qldtechwriter-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.au.
