If you're in Israel, there's the [IVBUG](http://www.renaissance.co.il/ivbug/) meeting tommorow.

Also, on the 9th, the [Web developers .Net group](http://teched.magen.com/events/event.aspx?EventID=36) meets and there's supposed to be some real interesting stuff going on there. Yosi [wrote about that](http://weblogs.asp.net/yosit/posts/9526.aspx) as well.

Ever wonder what are all the User Groups in Israel(or anywhere else)? [Here's a chance to know](http://www.ineta.org/Default.aspx?tabindex=1&tabid=3).
