User Group Reborn
I received an email from James Johnson, leader of the Inland Empire .NET Users Group, centered in Redlands, California but serving the entire Inland Empire (as one would surmise from the name, heh). I’ve had the pleasure of visiting the group a couple of times because my folks used to live about 30 miles east of there. And last summer I visited as an INETA speaker.
When I was there it was a small group of fun people who are passionate about development. I love that kind of energy!
James writes that the group, in his words, has been reborn, relaunched, re-opened, re-whatevered. When they lost their meeting room, they decided it was time to invigorate the group.
And boy, did they! Last Tuesday was their INETA Sponsored Community Launch Event and grand Re-Opening, with 73 attendees and a ton of goodies to raffle off. A four hour event that was full of energy and enthusiasm. One of the best things they are doing, besides the new Web site and setting up online forums, is to set up study groups. I so wish that I had opportunities like that here in Fairbanks! I guess I’ll just have to get down there again and join in!
Well done, James! Best of fortune with the new group!
