Yes, there is WiFi! Oct 4, 2009

I would also like to make a correction.
The focus of Maynard Hogg's presentation is on TM technology in general, using OmegaT as an example.
See you at 1pm!

ALL ORGANIZED! Please confirm your attendance. Sep 26, 2009

Hi everyone,
Sorry for being so slow with the updates.
It’s GREAT to see so many people have signed up – I’m really looking forward to putting faces to some familiar names (and meeting new ones)!!

OK, so have now arranged a great venue for our Powwow as follows: (Some of you may already know it? )

Hi everyone,

OK, so have now arranged a great venue for our Powwow as follows: (Some of you may already know it? )

THE PINK COW in Shibuya http://www.thepinkcow.com/
(Directly across from Aoyama Park Tower), Villa Moderuna B1, 1-3-18 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku Tokyo, 150-0002 (Tel: 03-3406-5597)

Time: 1pm~3pm-ish
Cost: 2,500 yen – for delicious buffet lunch and including 1 drink.

For detailed directions and downloadable map:

(JP) http://www.thepinkcow.com/NewMap_j.htm

The Pink Cow doesn’t usually open until 5pm, so we will have the venue to ourselves for lunch (貸切です). They are going to put on a really nice buffet lunch for us and the first drink will be included.
For anyone interested in continuing on afterwards, I happen to know that Juan Luis knows a great place nearby that would be perfect for a 二次会. (Yoroshiku, Juan Luis!! )

Presentations:
This is a call for any volunteers that might like to give a short presentation about any translation-related topic.
Suggested themes could include TM software, your experiences working with agencies (or as an agency/outsourcer), handling the business side of things (tax, what type of business to set up [sole proprietor, LLC/合同会社, etc.]), or tips on improving skills, client-base, workflow, QA, etc.

I currently have one tentative presentation but would love it if another 1~2 people were interested. The Pink Cow is all set up with microphones, projector/screens – all you need to do is bring a laptop (or if you would prefer to just bring your saved presentation on a thumb drive or similar, let me know and I will see if I can organize a laptop, etc.)

So! Now I need to confirm numbers for Sunday 4th October. Could you kindly confirm whether you are able to make it (please let me know as soon as possible so I can advise the Pink Cow of the number of people to cater for). You are welcome to bring friends/colleagues with you – please just let me know how many!

I look forward to seeing you there!
Warm regards,

Kathy
