  • Help decide the future at AUGI

    Submitted by rkmcswain on Fri, 01/23/2009 - 07:15

    Did you vote?

    No, not for Obama or McCain... I'm talking about the AUGI elections for Board of Director seats. There is a pretty good chance that you didn't. Out of the (claimed) 170,000 members, only 221 people bothered to vote. That is only 0.13%. Each candidate only needed 148 YES votes (2/3) to be elected, however none of the candidates received enough.

    Are there really only 221 people who care about the direction of this organization? If so, why did the other 169,779 people join?

  • Google killing six services

    Google Notebook is going away next week.

    I have used Google Notebook for a while. Apparently, existing users can continue to access the content, but for how long...?

    Also on the chopping block are 5 more Google services: Dodgeball, Google Catalog Search, Google Mashup Editor, Jaiku, and Google Video. Read more about the others here. Read more »

  • What is going on at AUGI?

    What is going on at AUGI?

    Elections to replace outgoing Board of Director positions were held recently and none of candidates received the necessary two-thirds affirmation votes needed to elect them into position. This left a few seats on the board vacant. According to the bylaws, vacancies (other than President and Vice-President) shall be filled by appointment by the President.

    In this particular case, the President chose to extend the terms of the outgoing board members until a new election can be held. No announcement regarding this new election has been made. Read more »

  • Happy New Year

    Happy New Year 2009.

    I know that a lot of people in this industry, particularly in the United States, were forced to take a pay cut, or even lost their job last year. Others even made the decision to leave the industry altogether. Here is hoping that 2009 is better for all of us.

    I would also like to thank all of the CAD Panacea readers. In 2008, there were over 140,000 unique visitors from almost every country on earth. 62% of you are using IE, and 33% are using FireFox. The visits to the old "Blogger" site are winding down as more people update their bookmarks and RSS readers to point here. Read more »
