June 2002 - Technical Workshop
Subject: HTML 101
Place: Cape
Breton Regional Library
Instructor: Gayle Bird
Gayle had a full class for the workshop.
>From Gayle:
The Handout: Don't forget, a colour-coded version of that
handout is at www.nightingayle.com/tips/digitaleve.html ..
AND, it's not just for people at the workshop! Everyone else,
if you couldn't make it, or if you're simply curious, feel
free to go check it out; don't worry about copyrights or anything.
Spread it around.
Almost everything I covered in class is on that handout -
it should give you everything you need to start your first
website. It does assume you can use an operating system like
Windows or the Mac OS, a browser like Explorer and
Netscape, and Notepad (SimpleText is the Mac equivalent, I
hear), including opening and saving files.

May 2002 - Meet and Greet
Date: May 1, 2002
Place: Bunkers, Sydney
DigitalEve Cape Breton's first Meet and Greet was a smash
success, doubling the first meeting of April 11, with 22 members
attending. While kibbutzing and getting to know each other
was definitely the point of the evening's agenda (and everyone
sure did that), members were also anxious to get down to the
business of planning and collaborating. Energy was high and,
as usual for any Cape Breton gathering, the atmosphere was
very welcoming. A big thanks goes out to Bunkers' staff for
being so accommodating.
April 2002 - DigitalEve Cape Breton Launch
Date: April 11, 2002
Place: Cape Breton Regional Library, Sydney
DigitalEve Cape Breton's launch saw an enthusiastic group
of 11 women attending. Plans for an upcoming Meet and Greet,
as well as a seminar quickly got underway. Thanks to the Cape
Breton Regional Library for the use of their Program Room.
