Please register by February 27th to ensure that you receive the instructions in time. Designing and implementing a practical and effective taxonomy always starts with a practical and effective set of project requirements. Whether you're developing or implementing a taxonomy, using in-house talent or creating a vendor/consultant request for proposal (RFP), you need to clearly scope the project and identify the application framework. When you get the ball rolling with a set of well-defined goals and requirements, you'll be more likely to end up with a result that meets your expectations. In this session, our speakers will offer practical insights into the requirements development process. We'll learn about: * Scoping your taxonomy project * Defining your application framework * Creating effective RFPs * Aligning project requirements with your goals and expectations Presenters: Seth Earley (Earley & Associates), Jie-hong Morrison (Computer Technologies Consultants, Inc.), Harry Ringwood (Philip Morris) 176 Join us for this month's Taxonomy Community of Practice conference call on developing taxonomy project requirements. 2007-02-28 true http://www.earley.com http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/176 information architecture, knowledge management, request for proposals, seo, taxonomy Pittsburgh USA 2007-12-12 We currently have 2 presentations for the evening: First, Jason Head will be presenting "10 Ways to Provide Top-Notch SEO Without Doing any Extra Work!"* Clients are always asking "how can I make it into the search engines". I'll show you how you can get results for your client by following rules of web standards, good design and taking advantage of one or two free tools along the way. (* Well, maybe a little bit of work...) Next, Founding Developer and CEO of JoinSources, LLC, Don Charlton will be joining us to show a very impressive project he has been working on here in Pittsburgh: Join Sources. For this presentation, "Let's JoinSources and Conquer Web Content" Don demos a new Web-based CMS meant to equally empower Web site developers, designers and their clients. They're also giving away free hosting and CMS usage to 50 JoinSources recruits who develop a site on the beta platform. I've seen a preview of the CMS and it's a sharp product. While it's always nice to see a creative and useful product developed in our own community, it's even better when it's soomething that we all may be able to put to great use. If you run a small business or do a good deal of freelance web-site work, you should make an effort to check this one out! Finally, we would like to add an additional short presentation for the evening. If you would like to present on a topic or show off a recent project, please drop me line! As usual, we should have a good supply of coffee and cookies and other sweets to get you through the night. Also, if anyone would like to stick around after the meeting and take the conversation down to Affagoto's that would be a good deal too! RSVP Please RSVP to let us know if you will be joining us.

There are lots of misconceptions about SEO in the first place, and there are some simple steps one can take to improve one's search ranking. Next, Jeff Hunter, organizer of Devhouse Pittsburgh will be presenting introduction to Ruby. Jeff will show us what it is, why you may want to consider using it for your next project. When I asked Jeff if was interesting in presenting, I asked him to explain "What the heck is ruby and why do I keep hearing about it (and why do people yell at me when I confuse ruby and ruby on rails?!?)" So you can expect to get answers to those questions too! Our friends at O' Reilly Publishing have provided us with a few Ruby books as giveaways for the night as well.
