The MUG Event Calendar for October 22: Greg Willmore and Dreux Ste. Marie of Apple, More iLife ’08, the iMovie ’08 Creator, Showing Off in The UK, Odd File Formats and a Field Trip
As the final countdown to Leopard begins, this week’s MUG Event Calendar shows some Mac User Groups will be getting a first look straight from Apple, iLife ’08 continues to be a popular topic, but that’s not all.
Apple Representatives Greg Willmore and Dreux Ste. Marie will show off Leopard to enthusiastic groups in Indiana and Texas, respectively. The creator of iMovie ’08 will be the featured speaker at a Final Cut Pro group in California, while the various components of iLife ’08 are on the agenda in Michigan, Canada and elsewhere in California. A group in Washington DC will be talking about investing and the Mac and “odd” file formats will be demystified in Australia. While one group in the United Kingdom is taking a field trip to this week’s MacLiveExpo in London, they will find friends already there manning the User Group booth as members from several UK and Irish MUGs help enlighten attendees about what Mac User Groups offer. Other topics include Quicken, Adobe Illustrator CS 3, Pages ’08, Google’s mapping applications and more.
