[Eric Howland]

DANEnet hosts the Nonprofit Technical Round Table focusing on image 
processing

What:    People working with technology in Nonprofits come together to 
share experiences and solutions.
Where:   RSVP board room. 517 N. Segoe Road,  Suite 301.
When:    January 17th from 8:00am to 9:30am

In this session we will be talking about images.  We will talk about the 
differences between the pictures you put in your brochures and the 
pictures you put on your Web sites. We will also talk about a range of  
free image manipulation software that can save so-so pictures and 
improve even the best images.

The Nonprofit Technical Round Table is a gathering of people concerned 
about technology in the nonprofit world. Every other month interested 
people gather for information sharing and discussion. The hour and a 
half will be roughly divided into presentation, case study/discussion of 
the focus topic and an open discussion of current technical issues.

Other notes:

1.  Many people have stopped using Internet Explorer (the big blue E) 
for their Web browsing and changed to FireFox for security reasons and 
ease of use (primarily tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking).  
Unfortunately there is a security problem with versions 1.04 and before. 
The newest version, 1.5, is a recommended upgrade. In addition to 
security patches and other security enhancements, this version has a 
number of new features including support for new standards, better 
accessibility features and automatic updates.

2. If you are interested in images for Web pages you might be interested 
that Techsoup's stock program 
(http://www.techsoup.org/stock/default.asp) is now offering Macromedia 
Dreamweaver to nonprofits for an administrative fee of $35.
