Hi
Thanks for your support and your faith in building a .Net community group.
It's a long road we are getting there. Thanks to all the new members,
and I hope to see you soon, maybe tomorrow at the MSDN day event.
Don't forget to confirm your registration too !
Thanks also to the developers who attended the meeting yesterday.
Everybody proposed some good idea for the development of our
community.
So this is what was discussed:
- The NEWS ! We are now officially recognised by INETA as a .Net usergroup.
This has huge and positive implication. This is the email to confirm
our membership:
"
CONGRATULATIONS! Your group (Ireland .Net Developers Alliance) has
been approved to be an INETA member based on your dedication to the
.NET user group community. Welcome to INETA! If you have any questions
about the goals of INETA, or if I can personally be a source of
encouragement and information for you, do not hesitate to drop me an
email!
I see INETA as a way for the user groups (especially through the
groups leadership) to connect with other user groups', answer each
other's questions, and generally support each other. I hope you'll be
interested in participating as an INETA member group as INETA
continues to evolve.
As you may know, INETA maintains a Speakers Bureau and will be happy
to provide a nationally known industry guru to speak at one of your
meetings. In addition, INETA will provide money for refreshments
(pizza, soda, etc) for this event as well. Just go to the Speakers
Bureau tab on the INETA site and file out the form to request a
speaker.
We publish a monthly newsletter which you will start receiving at the
beginning of next month. You can find past newsletters in the
Repository on the INETA Website. We would love to have you submit an
article on any user group related subject or a write up and pictures
of a recent meeting. We are looking for community building information
quieter !) room to meet. So it was agree to have a monthly meeting at
the Mespill hotel at least one time per month. I would prefer twice,
but eventually I suggest the second meeting can be done offline.
These meetings will be focus on the activities of the group and not to
be confused with the soon to happen .Net sessions.
We finish the meeting on a opened discussion about different subjects
(good debate by the way) Internet Explore vs Firefox (Claudio I am
still 'fighting' with scrollbars in panels), Refactoring in C# and
some enthusiastic moblogs demos by Tiernan
