Delaware DotNet Users Group (DeDNUG)

This month we’ll be meeting on January 18th at the UD UnConference – being held from 9:00am-12:00pm at the Perkins Student Center – Rodney Rm 364.

See you there!

Too many of us are out and frantically attempting to resuscitate the economy with our last minute shopping excursions this close to Christmas, so no December meeting.

I hope you all have a safe and Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year!

See you next year!

Google+ has finally opened up for everybody – http://plus.google.com

This month we’ll be attempting to create a Google+ Hangout for holding a virtual meeting. Benefits are no travel time to/from the meeting (~4 hrs of my time saved ;?) and the possibility for more flexible and spontaneous meetings without conference room availability constraints.

Instructions have been sent out via the group listserve. Hope to see you at 12:00pm on Sept 21, 2011 virtually or in Smith Lab in Lewes if you want to hang out in person.
