| Advanced Developers SIG Ron Ogg, SIG Co-Leader – 415-281-0431 The Advanced Developers SIG is a learning co-op. Every month we choose a topic and let people know where they can learn about it. We then get together and go over the information. We hope that if everyone learns a little on their own, and when we get together everyone can learn a lot.
