Salem Tribe #6 – Drawing Conclusions
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
It’s an honor to have Von Glitschka, Illustrative Designer and Salemite, present for our 6th Salem Tribe gathering. Von is a talented designer who is passionate about “the power of the doodle” (his words, not ours). Make plans to come on Monday, March 1st, 6:30pm at the Ike Box.
Drawing Conclusions
Description: Discover the power of the doodle by learning how anyone can develop and facilitate a good creative habit by becoming an avid drawer.
Von is principal of Glitschka Studios and has worked in the communication arts industry for over 23 years. His work reflects the symbiotic relationship between design and illustration. This duality of skills within his own creative arsenal, inspired him to coin the phrase and title of “Illustrative Designer.”

Salem Tribe #4 – Video on the Web
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009
We have a topic nailed down for Salem Tribe #4. It is going to be an awesome night! We have Chris Hahn giving a presentation on using video on the web
We hope to see you January 4th, 6:30pm at the Ike Box.
Video On The Web – It’s On Like Donkey Kong
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a single second of video is worth 30,000. You’ve seen it all over, on the web, in the news, even the news reporting on videos found on the web. Technologies like Flash based video recorders and services like YouTube have made it easier than ever to quickly capture ideas and events on video, and share them with others.
But how does this tech come together? What do you need to start making your own video content? How do I leverage video for personal branding, and business application? How do you put out a quality video without changing careers and breaking the bank? These are some of the questions that will be touched upon in this session.
We’re covering the gamut, but just scratching the surface of the potential for this powerful communication medium.

Discussion Topic for Our Second Meeting
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
In just a few short weeks, we’ll gather for Salem Tribe’s second monthly meeting – held again at The Ike Box in downtown Salem on Monday, November 2 at 6:30pm. We’ve asked Jason Harris, writer and technology guru, to talk about making life online a little bit easier.
Don’t Have Enough Time to ‘Surf” the Web?
Saving Time With RSS
Description: Social media (whether you’re getting in to Twitter, online news or blogs) can be very intimidating. It takes a lot of time to stay up to date with everything, but there is help. RSS, in non-geek speak, is Really Simple Syndication. When used correctly, it makes staying up to date very easy and fast. RSS lets you stay on top of the sites and information *you* care about. In this talk, Jason will discuss what RSS is and how you can easily employ this well-used functionality to make your web-life easier to manage.
Jason Harris is a technology writer and community manager who has been online since 1994 when he got his first Unix shell account and was instantly hooked with the online world. Jason’s two passions are mobile technology and social media, especially when these two areas collide. Jason maintians his blog at techcraver.com. Additionally, he has been a contributor to GigaOm, WebWorkerDaily, ReadWriteWeb, DownloadSquad, and CMSWire. Outside of technology, Jason is a devoted husband, proud father, and avid cyclist and lives in Salem, Oregon.
