11:30 am - Noon: "Joomla 101: BASIC TRAINING"
Joomla 101 is a half-hour primer on Joomla, presented by a different Member every month, with their keen insights, intended to give attendees a very basic understanding of what a CMS is, and how Joomla works. In this half-hour session, learn some of the basics of Joomla, such as how to plan and organize your content, get a definition of terms, thinking about your target audience and how to set and achieve realistic objectives.
Presented by: Delane David

12:15 PM - 1:00 PM - "SEO For Success II"
Learn key Search Engine Optimization techniques, using Joomla code and extensions. This popular topic is a "reloaded" version of SEO For Success, previously presented, only Mike and Phil have added a great deal of new information to help you reach toward the dominant positions on Google and other search engines.
Presented by: Phil DeKoker & Mike Carson
Mike Carson is Owner of Joomla Showroom in Chicago.
Phil is a System Programmer & Owner, QualityHoster.com, in Lansing, Illinois.
Both Phil and Mike are Founding Members, and a Core Team members of JoomlaChicago.
1:00 PM - 1:30 PM Networking
At 1:00 PM, Members are free to leave, or stick around to ask questions, discuss ideas or socialize. If the group wishes to continue the Noon discussion, that's OK too. Bring business cards and share contact information with other folks in the room too.
JoomlaChicago is an "all together different" kind of software community. Our focus is on education, however, we strongly encourage folks to build up their personal and professional network. While we support both personal and professional growth, we are first and foremost a learning group, focused on enhancing our members' skillset, to make for a healthier, happier Joomla community.
We are NOT a "leads group," and won't tolerate Spamming of our Members. If you join this group, we ask that you please plan on attending at least six meetings a year. You can unsubscribe at any time from the Meetup.com list, and still feel free to be a part of the online community if you wish.
Also, if you would like to set up another live "meetup" meeting in the Loop or throughout Chicagoland, please let us know. Our goal is to make learning Joomla as convenient as we can for our members.
Further questions? Feel free to contact me, or go to the JoomlaChicago Forum and post your questions, concerns or suggestions there. However you're most comfortable reaching us, please do so!
Thank you,
John Coonen
