About the MSU WebDev
CAFÉ
The
MSU WebDev CAFÉ serves the community of MSU Web professionals by facilitating
group discussions with information/opinion sharing, convening meetings and
events, and offering feedback on policies as well as large-scale applications.
Broad themes pursued through CAFÉ activities include Web design, standards,
development, services, and collaboration tools. Specific topics may include Web
programming, mashups, rich media, content management systems, information
architecture, usability, accessibility, Web hosting, storage, security, writing
for the Web, and Web 2.0 tools such as social networking. Attention is also paid
to expanding awareness of professional development opportunities for higher
education Web professionals. Through its activities, the WebDev CAFÉ fosters a
supportive, knowledgeable, and multidisciplinary community of practice for Web
professionals, whether they are from staff, faculty, or student ranks. The
community holds monthly meetings and quarterly forums. It also utilizes an
e-mail list (http://list.msu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=webdevcafe&A=1)
and threaded discussions (http://forums.msu.edu) to communicate
throughout the year.
