We are a community of Web professionals refreshing the creative, technical and professional culture of our craft.
Hi everyone, we’ve been bumped from our normal meeting spot, and our backup location won’t be able to host us this month, so we’re going to change gears. While we won’t have a good venue for topics, we still want to gather and socialize, so please join us at the Gingerman Tuesday evening to meet up, geek out and enjoy a bit of beer.
We’ll return to topic-focused meetings for the September 13th Refresh.

That’s all I’ve got for this week, folks! Of course there could be a lot more posted, but you’ll have to read our group archives and twitter stream to get it all.
Don’t forget about next week’s SXSW Mixer @ Mohawk on February, 11th. and our power-packed February meeting with presentations on Grids and
This week we saw a firestorm erupt out of the A List Apart articles on browser version targeting and future-proofing websites. If you’ve not had a chance to read them yet, check out Aaron Gustafson’s Beyond DOCTYPE: Web Standards, Forward Compatibility, and IE8 and Eric Meyer’s From Switches to Targets: A Standardista’s Journey.
Much has been written in the days following these articles, but I want to focus on Refresh Austin’s reactions as part of a new, weekly roundup.
What are your thoughts?
We get together on the second Tuesday of each month, from 7pm - 9pm. Most meetings are downtown at Buffalo Billiards, but check this site or the mailing list for full details as it occasionally changes.
Informal gatherings, arranged on the list or via Twitter often pop up too.
Already on the mailing list, but you'd like to do more? We're always looking for speakers, so drop us a line if you have a presentation in mind!
We love to hear ideas for improving Refresh Austin and happily welcome those who want to volunteer to help.
We don't take a lot of sponsorships, but we do have a few opportunities for the right fit.
