My TechEd Video on Community

Back in May at TechEd North America Developer Express interviewed me about INETA, Community and Desert Code Camp. Check out the video.

Thanks Developer Express for your on going support of community.

INETA and TechEd

Since being elected the President of INETA North America in April, I have heard some good and bad things about INETA from several people.  I want to make INETA better and more relevant for people and user groups. That being said, I will be at Microsoft Tech·Ed in Atlanta next week along with the rest of the INETA board and would like to chat with people about the good, bad and ugly of INETA.  I will be

  • At the INETA Community Leadership Summit on Sunday
  • The INETA Booth in the Connect Zone on the Expo floor at 12:30pm daily for the INETA raffle. 
  • Community Night on Tuesday
  • Walking through out the convention center.

If you have some compliments, complains, suggestions or just want to chat, here’s how you can get a hold of me:

BTW, INETA is doing a lot this year at Microsoft Tech·Ed, check out the full list here.

I look forward to chatting with you.

TechEd Events Site Launched

Are you going to Tech·Ed North America 2011 in May? If so, you might want to check out the updated site I launched called Tech·Ed Events.  Tech·Ed Events will be your one stop shop for all of the events and after parties at Tech·Ed North America.

Anyone can create an event on the site. All you need to do is sign in with your Windows Live credentials, and link to create an event will appear.  Please note, the event will not be available until it is reviewed and approved for display.

I added a few social media features like integration with Facebook and Twitter.  A cleaner more consistent UI, bitly url shorten for sharing the event. And better support for Bing maps.

Check out the site.
