Your Name: Michael Surkan
Your Email Address: msurkan at hotmail.com
Subject: may I post survey to your user group?
Message: Until recently I was employed at Microsoft (where I worked for 9
years) doing customer & market research. Now that I am in between jobs I am
pursuing a research subject on my own about how recessions impact the
technology industry.

If you think this study I am conducting about how the global recession is
(or is not) impacting enterprise and consumer IT plans would be interesting
to the members of your user group, please let me know and I will be happy to
post it. Of course, you can feel free to post the survey yourself if you
wish.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Co3CDMHC47_2fTCyYvGNSa_2fA_3d_3d&c=303

I will be making the results freely available on my own blog (www.surkan.com)
in the coming weeks. I am doing this as part of my own private research
effort, and it isn\'t being done on the behalf of any corporations or
clients.

I don?t have any fancy prizes, or incentives, to offer people for taking the
survey (i.e. I don?t have any kind of research budget), but I can promise
the reward that comes from helping your fellow man, and making the world a
better place.

Ok, that?s a little over the top? But survey participants will be helping
the tech industry understand how to better meet their needs in a changed
world. If nothing else, the results of this study should prove to be an
interesting read for anyone. :)

By the way, I am willing to share the raw results with you  (in Excel
spreadsheet form) if you have any interest in writing up your own stories.

Thanks,
Michael Surkan

P.S. This survey is designed so that people who say they have an IT related
job will be shown enterprise-type questions. Everyone else will see
questions about technology spending in the home. Participants are free to
take the survey twice if they are particularly ambitious, answering both the
enterprise and consumer IT sections.

I think that if I get an email message from somebody with a hotmail address 
who wants me to take a survey about my spending patterns, then my spam filter 
must be having an off day.

I agree with John. If this had come to my house, 
I would have deleted it, probably without reading 
it. Yeah, I know, I will miss out on a lot of 
deals. I just don't participate in surveys all 
that much. I figure they can get their data from others.

I imagine that our membership has more retirees 
than working folk, so I am not sure how much our information would help.

I would have considered spam PDQ too if it hadn't been for his taking the
time to enter this on the web form and satisfy the CAPTCHA.   It does baffle
me what he could really accomplish with this... I think I'll just ignore
it...
Thanks,
Mike

We'll be here, and the dog will be eagerly waiting your arrival.  However, I 
don't have the HP laptop.  Errol kept it when he returned the other stuff after

To: "mike.goggin at yahoo.com" <mike.goggin at yahoo.com>


 Mike ?



Thanks for talking with me today and assisting us in getting the Computer
Club of Austin Board connected to these other prominent organizations? Board
members.



As I mentioned, I am on the host committee for *
http://www.NetworkInAustin.com/mols.htm<http://www.networkinaustin.com/mols.htm>
*where you can see some of the people involved. We are interested in
inviting you and other applicable Board members from the Computer Club of
Austin to an important series of events this Sept., Oct. and Nov. focused on
connecting the Board members of Austin based member driven organizations to
share best organizational practices.



Below is additional info. for your review, but your personal endorsement and
recommendation to your Board via e-mail would go a long way.



We wanted to reach out to tell you about a very cool opportunity coming up
for the leaders of member driven organizations. It's titled the '*Austin
Membership Organization Leadership Series*' which will be three sessions
held in September, October and November. I am reaching out to personally
invite you to this inaugural event, created solely for board members of
membership organizations across Central Texas.

Please share this invitation with other members of your Board. If you know
other member organization leaders that this would be suitable for, please
feel free to call me or let me know via e-mail and I will make sure they are
invited as well.

Attached is a 1-page sheet that has more information about the series and
what we hope to gain, but in a nutshell, the series has been created with
the hope of fostering a more collaborative environment in which the member
organizations of the Austin community can work together to grow stronger,
build a more vibrant community, and better engage their membership through
understanding and leveraging best practices, social media and networking
opportunities.

We'll be hosting some fantastic speakers on a few relevant topics during
this series:

*September 15* - Heather McKissick, President/CEO of Leadership Austin and
Bijoy Goswami, Founder of Bootstrap Austin will present: *The Austin
Equation: How Experiences and Communities Combine to "Make a Scene"*

*October 13* - Kevin Patterson, General Director of the Austin Lyric Opera
will present: *The Shared Resources Movement*. Based on what he's learned in
creating collaborative shared resources initiatives in the arts communities
of both Austin and Pittsburgh.

*November 17* - Tim Hayden, CEO of GamePlan will present: *Social Media for
Membership Organizations*. Learn how your organization can appropriately
leverage various social networking tools.

We would be so pleased to see you there. Also! If you decide to join us and
sign up by August 31st, the cost is only $85 for all three sessions. *(And
just so you know a portion of the proceeds will benefit Leadership Austin
and Greenlights for Nonprofit Success).*

For more information about these events, timing, location and to register
head to:
*http://www.NetworkInAustin.com/mols.htm<http://www.networkinaustin.com/mols.htm>
*

* *

Mike, thanks again for your help in getting your Computer Club of Austin
Board members registered to join us.



There will be a large number of breakout work groups and it will be time
well spent on the part of your team.



I look forward to talking with you again soon.



Dave Jobe, CEO
