Mike ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: EmailMeForm Date: Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 19:57 Subject: Contact Form: may I post survey to your user group? To: Mike Goggin 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. -- Visitor Ip: 206.188.60.10 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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 *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!
