Just a quick post to show my appreciation for the KCDesignCore user group support tonight. I'm sitting here at Johnson County Community College, Reigner Center, Room 255, to be exact, and I'm witnessing the magic of over 20 Kansas City graphic designers working on a flyer for the event. The KCDesignCore group meets the first Thursday of every month, and this month is a "lab" to design the best PDF flyer to be used to promote the Coders4Charities event April 24-26, 2009.

At last check, they were all involved in requirements gathering, and they're trying to determine what solutions will work for them. The charities that are here tonight are: Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault Boy Scout Troop 813 Berean Bible Church Missouri...
