The St. Louis .NET User Group is hosting a holiday party this year for the very first time in our 10 year history. The event will be held at the Bottleneck Blues Bar at the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles. It will be an open house style event meaning you can drop by any time from 6:00pm to 9:00pm and enjoy the Unhandled Exceptions...the band that played at the St. Louis Day of .NET 2011. $5.00 at the door gets you in and goes to support a local charity The Backstoppers. If you cannot come, you can ......

Perhaps you've seen the nice glossy print magazine done by the nice folks at DevConnections entitled MyDevConnections. It's very nice quality production and has some great content -- much of which is supplied by INETA Speakers! Check out the article I submitted on page 53 and see if you recognize any of the user group leaders mentioned. You can find Rob Zelt, current president of INETA NorAm, on pages 22 and 71. Speaking of DevConnections... user group leaders and members can get some great discounts. ......

So it finally came! The big St. Louis Day of .NET event. Man was I tired afterwards. We had it at CAIT and we reached our limit of the number of bodies that were supposed to fit into that facility. We had to finally shut off registrations because we were afraid there would not be enough room for everyone to sit! CAIT is a teaching facility so the rooms were laid out with workstations and plenty of desktop space. We rented chairs to fill in the blanks. Some rooms were VERY tight. Next year, we'll ......

We've been waiting for this for quite a while and finally it's here! Over 25 presenters coming from from 5 states. Topics plucked hot off the PDC press just in time for Christmas. Plus, the price is incredibly cheap for a full day of learning. If you can make it at all, I highly encourage you to do so. Bring a friend. Oh, and did I mention the prizes? We have so many prizes I'm not even allowed to tell you about them out loud. You have to show up to find out. http://www.StLouisDayOfDotN... Technorati ......

The June 30th meeting of St. Louis .NET User Group tried something new -- a meeting following the Open Space Technology. OST is a method of running meetings of groups of any size. Essentially, it's a self-organizing process where the attendees construct the agenda and schedule DURING the meeting itself. How can this be? There's no way this would work. Chaos I say! Well, we did it and I think it worked out quite well. For those new to the idea, here's a quick outline of what we did. Everyone showed ......

I am headed to Toronto Canada for DevTeach tomorrow. Scott Hanselman has the keynote first thing Tuesday morning. Lots of great sessions planned and networking with fellow user group leaders and members from Canada. What a great country. Everyone I've met from up there has been incredibly nice. Monday night is the traditional Party With Palermo. That's always a great place to catch up with a lot of familiar faces at these events. I'm also looking forward to the .NET Rocks hosted panel discussion ......

So after the User Group Management Summit was over, a bunch of us also attended ALT.NET. It's a free conference by developers held in the Open Spaces format. I never would have believed how successful that format actually is unless I experienced it myself. I was pretty impressed and enjoyed several of the sessions I was able to attend. Touched bases with tons of friends, and even met some new ones. I especially enjoyed Scott Hanselman's session "Are we innovating or just porting?" Check out my buddy ......
