AUGI has been pouring it on this week.  First it was the announcement of Wish List voting, then the release of AEC/EDGE issue number 2, and now it is the latest AUGI World issue.  I’m especially excited about the new AUGI World, though.  Although the AEC/EDGE publication is new and excited, I’m always pumped up about the results of the Annual Salary Survey, which is published in the newest release of AUGI World.

AUGI was serious when they said they are committed to the AEC industry and delivering specific content for it.  They’ve just released the second issue of the AEC/EDGE publication and you can find it right here.  It is a magazine dedicated to the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction industry and applies to drafting and design for those areas.  You can expect content from Autodesk products such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, the Revit collection, AutoCAD Architecture, NavisWorks, and more.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 03, 2009 – AUGI is pleased to announce an agreement that sets the stage for the 2010 AUGI CAD Camp season.

It isn’t a joke and no more teasing from me as I did on Friday.  The results are in and announced.  Welcome and congratulate 1 new and 1 existing board member in the election:
Dario Passariello and Mark Kiker
I am impressed with the turnout from the International members of AUGI in getting Dario elected.  Although I didn’t know a whole lot about him, he had a lot of active participation on the Special Election Discussion Boards and seemed to have some good ideas on where AUGI needs improvement.
