SWAT - MSU - East Lansing, MI
The State of Webspartans.com
Burke has been working quite diligently on making the website a reality. Let's watch in awe as he actually manages to complete the first project for SWAT!
We Possibly Have Two Projects in the Works
I haven't heard anything back form the MSU Portfolio club. We'll see how this develops this week. Also, I will be meeting with that religious organization soon, so we'll also see what happens there.
We also need to talk about future projects and possibly some promotions. I would like to see if we can organize some sort of easy access internal communication. If that will be what the website will be for then let's see if Burke needs some help on the website this Friday.
Salud,
Michael Davidson
PS - Thanks for all the support and work you guys put in this last Friday.

Update on the Workshop and Stuff
SWAT - MSU - East Lansing, MI
Hey guys,
New projects
Anyway, I met with the MSU Portfolio club last week and gave them a prescription for what we needed and have yet to receive anything new from them for a bit. I'm also still trying to meet with a on-campus religious organization to revamp their site as well. Both sites just require a make over and some well organized code.
CSS Workshop Is Finished
How could we have done better? More organization. making the exercises a bit more structured. Try to rope in more audience participation.
What did we do well? I think people understood at least some of what we tried to get across. In the matter of an hour and a half we explained some complicated theory in more realistic terms. We managed to contribute to people's understanding of what CSS is and hopefully have demystified the magic that is CSS.

Did I ever tell you I love you, Burke?
http://webspartans.com/
Ok, so we got a few things done. We established the meeting time of the first of two meetings for running the CSS ROX workshop on the 26th. That will be on the 19th at 12 noon.
I believe this time we will try to get the conference room in 300 Bessey again. Assume this is so, I will send out an alert. if this changes.
I'm sorry if we missed anybody who came late. on Friday. We kinda got to business fast and forgot to alert people of our change of location by means of sign or something.
I love new members and as it seems we've got three! They will be joining us for planning the workshop and helping out in general. Please bring friends, be like Nina!
We also have two organizations that I am personally talking to about developing a website. A stock portfolio group and the Orthodox Christian Fellowship both found here at MSU. Wow, we pull in the most diverse of groups :)...
Te amo,

Let's start collecting ourselves, shall we?
SWAT - MSU - East Lansing, MI
First meeting's agenda (8/25/08, aka T-18 days until my birthday ), what shall we do with our precious time:
Food will not be provided until next meeting.
I have something you guys should mull over. I was thinking that starting after the meeting on the 3rd we might have meetings every other week, but for individual projects the meetings will be up to the discretion of people working on it. I think we could have more productive meetings if we space them out and make them longer. We can discuss the specifics at this week's meeting.
We also have to discuss the upcoming SWAT called CSS ROX. Also I'm sure Jena wants to talk about Writer's Bloc or something. Have at it, team!
Love,
El Commandante

MSU has a team of Web Trolls now!
This is development blog for the Spartan Web Authoring Team of Michigan State University. We are an organization dedicated to creating websites that do not suck completely. Designing bad-ass websites and being awesome are our club goals.
We currently are not working on any projects as of late, but we will be featured at Sparticipation this Saturday at 6 PM. However, once this summer hiatus is wrapped up, I do intend to begin cranking out some sweet projects that I, and others, will most certainly blog here.
I am Michael Davidson, president and co-founder of SWAT. I myself am a senior Professional Writing major. I am also currently employed at the Kresge Art Museum as their webmaster. I like playing video games, reading books, and drinking copious amounts of coffee.
We also have a google group and facebook group.
