TechEd Europe 2010 Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) - submit sessions!

Dobriša Adamec — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 09:57:00 GMT

Once again INETA Europe and GITCA are organizing the Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions at Tech·Ed Europe in Berlin, November 8-12, 2010. BOF sessions are moderated open discussions on technology related topics proposed by members of INETA/GITCA Community. BOF sessions are not formal presentations, no slides or software demonstrations. The format is casual and open with a microphone and whiteboard available to facilitate discussions.

The sessions are an opportunity for INETA/GITCA members to have technical conversations with their peers on technology related topics of interest. A topic may be related to conference content or any other topic that would be of interest to conference attendees. The BOF sessions are a great opportunity to meet with other attendees that have common interests and exchange ideas.

All conference attendees with the exception of Microsoft employees are eligible to submit a topic proposal. Check this page for examples of topics. To be considered for a BOF session, please submit your proposal no later than October 10, 2010. You can submit your topic proposal through the form at http://europe.ineta.org/Events/TEEBoFsubmission/tabid/363/Default.aspx

INETA at TechEd

Dobriša Adamec — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:01:00 GMT

Last week we've been at TechEd Berlin most of the time spending at INETA booth. We have a great time socializing with colleagues from all over the Europe and world sharing user group expiriences. I talk with Nuno Filipe Godinho about the Portugal user groups, Jonathan Cassar about starting a new user group in Malta, Martin Kulov about the succesfull Dev Reach conference in Bulgaria, Daron Yondem about community work in Turkey and many more. Daniel Sorlov lead the BoF session about the Communities in the world and Tiberiu Covaci organizes interesting panel discussion on "what is your motivation to run a user group and lead a community" theme.

And the INETA Board was active - our president Damir Tomičić held a session about the Silverlight and developing a multitouch application and Tomislav Bronzin held a session on programming for Windows 7. Miguel Lopez Gonzales and Sander Gertz work at TLC as Aks the Experts. Jose Luis Lattore was organizing "Guitar Hero Contenst" in coordination with MVP-Program and Culminis. Andre Obelink and myself spend most of our time at the booth with help of Tim Young and Hassan Fadili.

We managed the BoF sessions (submited and voted by community) and those sessions were well attended aldo in not so good spaces (noisy rooms open to TLC space). I congrat to all BoF speakers on the work they done there.

INETA also organizes INETA Volunteer dinner where we all have to chance to share our community work expirineces to others. I'm happy to say that there is a lot of guys willing to work hard for community and the sharing and feeling that spirit is what motivates us to work even more.

If you host or lead a User Group that has focus on .NET technologies and if your User Group meet INETA conditions you could apply your group for INETA membership. The most common question is "What should I do to make my UG INETA member?". We create a guideline document with step-by-step procedure that answer at that question. The document is attached with this post - read it and apply for INETA Membership.
