Calling all Professional Network members
If you’re a member of the Six Apart Professional Network, or just someone who’s interested in the work we’re doing to help support our community of developers, designers, consultants, and experts, you might be interested in the latest way we’ve been connecting with our community.
Every other week, we hold a group conference call that’s an open conversation with our team, as well as with some of the most talented and successful members of our Professional Network community. You get direct access to the teams that build platforms like Movable Type and Movable Type Enterprise, and to previews of the resources and roadmap we’ll be offering in the future. In exchange, you get the ability to bend our ear and tell us what you’d really like to see in our products or for the community, or what your clients are demanding.
We’ve done a number of these calls, and will be continuing to do them regularly, but as this week’s is about to start, we wanted to let the larger community know about this new way to reach out, and we’ll be offering more information in advance of our next call.
The call today begins at 10am PST/1pm EST, and you can dial in to +1 712-432-3000 or +1 218-486-1300 with Bridge Number: 353177. Sorry, we don’t yet have international call-in numbers, but are working on them in the future. The calls are recorded and posted as MP3s within a few days after they take place.
This week’s agenda:
- Review the New Plugin Directory
- Review the New ProNet Member Directory
- Discuss the upcoming NYC event
- Discuss the “Opening up ProNet” thread
Hope to have you join us today and in the future!

Brilliant idea. Thanks for very interesting article. btw. I really enjoyed reading all of your articles. It’s interesting to read ideas, and observations from someone else’s point of view… makes you think more. Greetings
I’m curious how the conference calls have been going. Here in Atlanta, we have a city-wide initiative to try and promote telecommuting. Obviously the plan is designed to decrease traffic, reduce smog (which has been especially bad this summer, since we have a brush fire that’s been raging in south Georgia for three months now), and generally try to make life easier for employees. However, it doesn’t seem to have caught on much. Besides the fact that traffic seems just as congested as ever, recent surveys have shown that employers simply aren’t willing to make the shift. To be honest, I’m not sure I blame them: my own experience has been that the proper tools still haven’t been invented to make telecommuting work, at least in any complete sort of way. Conference calls are fine for short meetings, and Web 2.0 adds to production, but for day-to-day, hour-to-hour work and communication, someone needs to put together a comprehensive application to facilitate working from home. Any thoughts from those who meet this way often?

Too bad you still have no available slots for international callers. I’m from Asia and as you all know, Asian countries have become the most sought-after source of tech persons working as programmers, outsourced system administrators, and webmasters. Most of our skills are learned only through self-study. It will be more helpful to us if we join symposia, workshops, and conferences abroad.
