In order to coordinate organising .NET events better with other community happenings, I’ve started a group calendar on NING for UK .NET Events and I’m working with other community organisers on getting their events into the calendar as well. You can view and edit the group calendar on http://ukdotnet.ning.com or subscribe to RSS updates on http://ukdotnet.ning.com/events/event/feed.

Alt.NET beers meeting continues next week at the Blue Posts pub in Kingly Street in London. This time, the event is planned as an informal mini conference where participants are first going to select a topic and then organise a workshop. See you there!

For more information about the location and organisation, see Seb’s blog post about the event.

The event is free to attend, but up-front registration is required for capacity planning. for more information and to register click here.
