The Richmond Adobe User Group, or RAUG, is Richmond‘s own local
group that focuses on Adobe software and the people who use it. We
primarily focus on InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat.
However, we also work closely with the local Flash Developer‘s
User Group (FDUG), so you never know what you‘re going to get!
Since we‘re a brand new group, our history isn‘t very
long - so join in on the fun and help us make it up as we go!
