Our first meeting took place in Limassol. Here is the
historic picture for the records
Notes from first organizational meeting
- We will need a few events to get us going. We are thinking maybe a
"big" meeting every 3 months, with informal get togethers each of the
two other months, and possibly an annual larger conference.
- Microsoft is offering its place to meet at Nicosia.
- CYTA might be offering their premises for Limassol meetings
- We will probably need some kind of sponsoring for the initial events
- Chad should be able to find some speakers from Europe for events for
free (Basic expenses if we bring in outsiders)
- We estimate that per speaker it should cost about CYP 300 (Flight,
transportation and accommodation)
- CCS would not mind us working as one of their sub groups
- CCS might even sponsor some of the events
- Chad is willing to put the extra effort and provide some seminars
for the group to move forward
- We said that it might be good to have an introductory session ->
Something like why you should move to .Net (I already have session
ready)
- Maybe a super advanced topic maybe on ado.net for the experienced
users (I have sessions ready for this too as Im doing these in Singapore
.NET conf)
- As VB is unusually popular here and many are not moving to .NET
quickly, we expect this will be a big target for our user base.
- It should be that the first year might be a bit difficult to get
people to the group
- Chad will provide a way to create/update a web site
- Content will include meeting results. (Maybe events photos, Links,
articles etc)
- We should have a meeting at Nicosia next week
- Start of July we should have our first event
