Planning the Whidbey sessions for Adelaide User Group

Looks like everything is in readiness for our Whidbey developer sessions.  During the July meeting I'll hopefully be announcing how we will be running the Whidbey sessions at the User Group.

The plans are that we'll be handing out 60 day trial versions of Virtual PC and have some pre-built images with WindowsXP and the May community drop of Whidbey on them (Thanks to Chuck for the disks!).  During the meeting we'll install Virtual PC on members machines and load the pre-built Whidbey images on them.  After that we'll be encouraging that people determine which area of Whidey they are most interested in:

• Web
• Windows
• ClickOnce
• MSBuild
• etc

Members will be encouraged to interract and collaborate within those "Communities of Interest".  To help manage this, senior group members will keep in touch with users/groups in between meetings.   We'll be encouraging that groups/individuals solidify their learnings by delivering small 15-20 minute presentations  - either in their groups or individually - at subsequent meetings.

If you are in Adelaide, South Australia and you want to be a part of this Whidbey learning opportunity make sure that you get along to the July meeting to hear about the plans.
