networking

Austin UPA (a chapter of the Usability Professionals' Association) has been reinvigorated this past year and has teamed up with AustinUX to host local events for UX (and related) folks.  Our topics are varied - from celebrating World Usability Day (see pictures) to collaborating on collaboration (see the past panel description) to discussing video game usability (check out the slides).

For December, we'll be winding down 2009 in a social fashion with a happy hour mixer at Vino Vino on December 1st.

Please RSVP at http://austinupa.ning.com/events/december-happy-hour. It's not completely necessary, but would be helpful - I need to give the owners a heads-up on headcount. (Note: If you haven't signed up on the Austin UPA website, then you'll need to - the link is on the upper right, and it's free.)
