2008 for the CWSA…
Last night’s meeting of the CWSA was probably one of the best so far.
Not because there was a stunning speaker, no offence Joe ;-), or cutting edge techniques presented - It was the group deciding what goals we are trying to achieve in 2008. The assembled 30 odd attendees bounced around ideas such as:
- developing a business case for standards
- reach out to non-web organizations in Cleveland
- attending conferences such as An Event Apart or putting on something like BarCamp
It was also heartening to see a good mix of freelancers, educators and professionals from companies such as TenthFloor, Brulant and Optiem (not including myself) coming together and voicing the same opinions.
Heare’s to Cleveland becoming one of the go-to places for standards-based web design in 2008.

I look forward to this possibly happening in Cleveland. I am involved in a similar effort with the Search Engine Marketing Professional’s Organization, and SEM professionals consistently have struggled with establishing standards for years.
I think we could share similar experiences and possibly reach mutual benefit!
