The idea came up thay I would use one of the MSFT community starter kits to setup a website for that user group. I'm still pondering whethet I'm up for it... ·         I got a chance to mingle a little at the event, and I finally met Michal Geva face to face.

I think we're a much more closed-up  group of people than from what I've seen in other conferences(Well, I haven't been to that many of them, but that's the feeling I get). When "Ask the experts" time came, Most of the people preferred to go home(you could also get to dive in the hotel pool if you wanted ,but only 5% brought a swimsuit..), or just sit aside. Out of about 400-500 attendees, I think less then 50 actually took part in the "experts" booth, asking questions and so on. I think that's the easiest way to identify those who truly "get" it. Let all the rest go and see who's left with some hardcore questions, or even just to listen to some hardcore answers…. **Loot**: ·         1 .**Net** Beach Towel ·         1 VS.NET T-Shirt ·         1,000,000 marketing papers ·         1 Technet Webast sampler CD ROM ·         1 Teched 2003 memories CD(I wasn't there, but it was nice to see that at least **someone** had fun...) ·         4 potnetial Job oppertunities ## More in .Net Original [All posts in .Net Original](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-original) - Jul 1, 2003 ### [Why I write in Both C# and VB.NET](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/7/1/why-i-write-in-both-c-and-vbnet.html) - Jul 1, 2003 ### [Automatically Create DataRelations Based On OleDB Schema](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/7/1/automatically-create-datarelations-based-on-oledb-schema.html) - Jun 30, 2003 ### [.Net Deep Dive Recap](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/6/30/net-deep-dive-recap.html) - Jun 29, 2003 ### [FillSchema and AddWithKey Don't Operate As Promised?](https://osherove.com/blog/2003/6/29/fillschema-and-addwithkey-dont-operate-as-promised.html) --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
