This is a mix of ideas stemming from my own research and thinking, as well as a number of ideas that came about through some submissions I received and discussion after the last event. I figured I'd go ahead and start the thread, and see how people are feeling about this list. This really is about the group and it's members, so any additional thoughts or possible ideas? We're all ears and eyes. We'd love to hear 'em. Thanks a ton, folks!</p> <p><strong>Topic List (thus far):</strong><br /> Legal Issues for Early Stage Startups/Freelancers<br /> Successful Design in the Music/Movies/Comics/Literature Web Worlds<br /> Video On The Web<br /> Revealing Design Treasures from Amazon (this was a talk given at a Philly Refresh meetup by Jared Spool that might be interesting if we can bring him in - <a href="http://www.uie.com/about/)" rel="nofollow">http://www.uie.com/about/)</a><br /> Design Trends (or the occasional lack-there-of) in Political/Government Websites<br /> Better Understanding of TypeKit, @font-face, and the move towards accessible web font usage<br /> How You Can Use Twitter<br /> Sass and Compass<br /> Flexible Web Templates for Various Content (from writing more flexible CSS to generating different on the server based on content properties)<br /> Responsive Web Design (see: <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/)" rel="nofollow">http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/)</a><br /> Design/Function Critique: Mobile Web/Apps vs. Desktop Environment vs. Print</p> <p>Also, a couple of other ideas that we can do on a regular/semi-regular basis:<br /> Monthly Site Critique/Discussion<br /> Possible Lunch/Breakfast Meet-ups </p> http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/topic.php?id=108#post-437 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:27:03 +0000 Todd Budnikas 437@http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/ <p>We need to lock down a topic or presenter for Refresh this month. There have been some topics thrown around both in the <a href="http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/topic.php?id=106">forums</a> and at the last meeting. If you are interested in presenting on one of the topics you or someone else recommended, please let us know by posting here. If not, we at least need some topics for discussion. </p> http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/topic.php?id=107#post-436 Wed, 19 May 2010 18:31:51 +0000 Todd Budnikas 436@http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/ <p>Thanks to a one Miss <a href="http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/profile.php?id=39">Deanna Mitchell</a> I came across the <a href="http://code.google.com/webfonts">Google Font Directory</a> today. Gives you simple stylesheet hosted by Google with all the @font-face goodness you need to render said font in your page. </p> <p>The link looks like so:</p> <pre>&lt;link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cantarell' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'&gt;</pre> <p>And then all you need to do is declare <strong>font-family:"Cantarell"</strong> for your element in your stylesheet and away you go. Pretty handy.</p> <p>They also provide a way to build a small stack including weights and variants in 1 call to a stylesheet as seen in the API documentation:<br /> <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/getting_started.html#Syntax" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/getting_started.html#Syntax</a> </p> http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/topic.php?id=106#post-433 Fri, 07 May 2010 16:56:04 +0000 Todd Budnikas 433@http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/ <p>Planning our upcoming meeting for Tuesday May 18th. If you have any desire to speak, present or have any idea for topics or discussions please post here. If nobody speaks up for presenting we'll likely just have a roundtable-like discussion as we did in February and pick a few topics. </p> http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/topic.php?id=105#post-430 Tue, 04 May 2010 12:30:48 +0000 davidyeiser 430@http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/ <p>I've uploaded the slides for the presentation I gave last month at SlideShare: <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/davidyeiser/once-source-to-rule-them-all" rel="nofollow">http://www.slideshare.net/davidyeiser/once-source-to-rule-them-all</a></p> <p>You can download the full PDF there too. </p> http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/topic.php?id=104#post-429 Fri, 23 Apr 2010 02:23:15 +0000 Ricky Irvine 429@http://www.refreshlouisville.org/forums/ <p>Please don't mind this cheap plea.

The hard drive on my iMac at home has kicked the bucket. I booted OSX from a disc and tried to run disk utility but it doesn't even recognize the hard drive anymore.</p> <p>I plan on getting another hard drive, but my question is where should I get the work done at? Apple store in Oxmoor? MacAuthority? Somewhere else I don't know about?</p> <p>HALP </p>
