Tomorrow, for the February meeting, we will be having a Google Chrome Extensions Hack Night from 7-9PM at the Medicom Digital offices in downtown Minneapolis.  Chrome extensions are based on HTML and Javascript, so if you can build a website, you can build an extension.  Be sure to bring along your laptop and some ideas for interesting Chrome extensions.  We will use the first 90 minutes for hacking followed by a quick show and tell portion where everyone can demo what they worked on.

Below are some videos and websites from the most recent TC-GTUG theater night that provide a basic overview of Chrome Extensions and how to write one:

We will be having a meeting TOMORROW December 1, 2009 from 7-9PM at the Medicom Digital offices in downtown Minneapolis. 

We will be doing a roundtable discussion on Google Wave and everyone can demo what they have discovered with Wave and discuss potential uses of Wave technology.  This meeting will be an open discussion, but we will try to keep focused around the following key topics:

• What is Google Wave?
• What uses are there for Google Wave?
• What are the current strengths and weaknesses of the Google Wave?
• How does one develop for Wave?
• What has already been developed for Wave?

 Unfortunately, Medicom won’t be able to sponsor pizza this month, but there had been discussion about chipping in for pizza.  In order to judge pizza interest, I’ve added two types of tickets to the RSVP system for “w/ pizza and w/o pizza”.  If you want pizza, you will need to contribute $5 to cover pizza costs.
