General Meetings/ Hangouts

Animation Directors Round Table

The first Wednesday of each month at 7pm at The Brew House (except January) is The Animation Director's Round Table meeting. It is an accountability and support meeting for people who are trying to make their own films or large projects. These meetings are based upon reviewing progress, sharing ideas, and setting goals for ourselves.

I also found his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/adobecreativecloud And I have also found some numbers: Basically, if you are someone who updates your software version every couple of years the cloud would be ok for you.
