Next Meeting - November 3rd
We’re going to have a great meeting the night before the election! The founders of Sayso, a local web/SMS startup here in Des Moines will be presenting an overview of a tech startup in this fair city. The second half was to intended to be a a design showcase/show-and-tell. So please come prepared to talk about anything you’ve done - we can pull up sites or bring screens/comps on a thumb drive. This isn’t a critique, just a fun look at what folks are doing.
Upcoming event has been added.
Impromptu Studio Press
Congratulations to Impromptu Studio on more excellent press coverage. After a week of television coverage they were featured in a nice article in the Business Record. I serve on the advisory board for the space and it’s excellent to see the marketing and outreach plans coming together, and hopefully getting more bodies behind the desks. Also nice to see the DSM Web Geeks get a nod, we’re lucky to have the opportunity to showcase the space and to take advantage of the Shipton’s hospitality every two weeks. Kudos!
Next DSM Web Geeks Session - Monday Oct. 20.
If you hadn’t noticed we have meetings every other Monday at Impromptu studio. Our next meeting will be October 20, and Scott Philips from Drake University will be presenting a session on Drupal. The second session is up for grabs, if you have an idea or want to present something go for it.

Tonight’s Meeting - 10/6
Tonight’s presentation will be by James Mounsdon:
My presentation will deal with the different ways to make your website mobile friendly. I will cover using plugins for wordpress to help, as well as how to optimize with just html and css. Some examples to be used are the mobile version of ImpromptuStudio.com and a web application developed for the iPod Touch and iPhone.
Hope to see you there!
