User groups are certainly a ton of fun. If you guys end up running a Code Camp then let me know if you'd like to use the website I created for ours:

Just curious: Based on the logo does it have anything to do with Cingular phone service? And based on the name is it related at all to Lego Mindstorms? 10/5/2006 11:52 AM | Lorin Thwaits

Thanks Lorin for your query.

The user group is a new thing for me, I'm not all that fussed about doing any presentations, I like listening.

The Code Camp is a cool idea, I will pass it on.

Thanks for bringing the similarities in logo to our attention. Cingular isn't a provider here in the UK but there is a likeness. 10/6/2006 6:24 AM | Dave Oliver

Nice idea about the code camp - we'll have a think about that for next year.

The logo was created by a graphic designer, who wanted to show droplets of water joining together to be stronger (a community) and also to look like a person.

I said 'hey an orange man' i like it... 10/25/2006 5:55 PM | Richard Costall
