October CDNUG Events: BeaverBarCamp, October UGSS Newsletter

[Jason]

Hello CDNUGers!

Thanks to Geoff Dalgas for a great presentation last night!  Thanks to those of you who came as well.

Of note, the Beaver BarCamp is coming up October 29th (a Saturday) and I would like to have our next meeting there next month.  If we could get 2-3 people committed to presenting for 45 mins then we could create a small .NET track.  Maybe a mini Code Camp feel.  More information here: http://beaverbarcamp.org/index.php/Main_Page

Please contact me here or on the Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/166117740082455/



Also, I received this today and thought this group might be interested.


Thanks,
Jason
