Digital Imaging SIG

Reese and I just attended our first Digital Imaging SIG meeting by The Silicon Valley User Group Alliance (SVUGA), AKA the Silicon Valley Computer Society. I was truly impressed by all the interesting discussions on computer hardware/software. For someone that has built PCs from scratch for close to two decades (someone like me), it was great to geek out and listen to the topics on computer components and things of that nature.

However, we weren't there to compare our latest PC mods. We were the guest speakers at this month's meeting and talked about ShutterBudd.com and The Show. Our hosts Maury G. and George H. gave us a great introduction and many people raised their hands to ask questions and offer suggestions. We really appreciate everyone listening to us! Thanks also go to Richard E. for asking us about how to add additional film cameras to our database. That sure made Reese happy.

The Silicon Valley User Group Alliance is the joint website of the Stanford Palo Alto User Group (SPAUG) and the Silicon Valley Computer Society (SVCS). Each of these groups is a non-profit educational organization which exists to promote the use and understanding of personal computers, digital photography and website design through meetings, classes, demonstrations and publications and to provide a forum for fellowship, recreation and an exchange of ideas among its members.

The Alliance was formed to provide a richer experience to our members, combining the the excellent monthly general meetings sponsored by SPAUG with the diverse Special Interest groups sponsored by SVCS. While each organization retains its individual identity, members of both groups can now share in the variety of learning experiences and fellowship.
