The June meeting went off really well. This month we had Tim Wingfield come talk to us about ASP.NET MVC. It was great to have Tim drive down from Columbus to share with us. After the pizza Leon Gersing gave a quick pattern talk on the Single Responsibility Principle.
Attendance (47): Once again average attendance is picking up! This is great. We are thinking of starting another membership drive. Last year we gave away an Xbox 360! We'll see what we can rustle up this time.
Announcements: - Please remember that starting this month our monthly meetings shifted to the Fourth Tuesday of every month (switching nights with CincySQL). Our next CINNUG Monthly meeting will be on July 22nd.
- Starting with the July CinArc meeting the SIG will meet monthly on the second Tuesday of every month! Thanks to MAX Technical Training for again providing us a space and night to meet. Next time you're in MAX be sure to thank Stacey for her time.
Upcoming Events
- Would you like to give to charities but don't have the cash? What about sharing your coding or design skills instead? Check out the Ann Arbor Give Camp! On July 11th-13th developers from around the Heartland district will be coding to help charities. They really need help with this so if you can spare some time they are even willing to get remote help. Donate your code to charity and skip the drive to MI. Contact me immediately if you are interested in helping.

July Meetings:
We have three CINNUG related meetings coming in July! Mark your calendars it's going to be a busy month.
CinARC Meeting (Tuesday, July 8th)
Come join this new special interest group as we discuss topics related to software architecture. This meeting is run using the fishbowl technique where the attendees are encouraged to share their thoughts with everyone while keeping the meeting from becoming a free for all. :) What topic will we cover? Well, that's up to the attendees!
The CinARC meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 8th at 6:00 PM at MAX Technical Training in Mason, OH.
Open Spaces Event (Wednesday, July 9th)
The Dayton .NET Developer Group and CINNUG are teaming up to put on an Open Spaces Event! MAX Technical Training is graciously hosting the event at their Mason facility. Open spaces events are not about "eyes front" presentations, but rather about sharing the views of the attendees on topics they've chosen. Several talks will be going on at once throughout the building, so come join us! As usual, pizza will be provided.
The Open Spaces Event will be held on Wednesday, July 9th at 6:00 PM at MAX Technical Training in Mason, OH.
CINNUG: Creating a Silverlight 2.0 Presentation in Silverlight 2.0 (Tuesday, July 22nd)
Get ready for a recursive experience! This presentation is actually a Silverlight 2.0 application which gives a presentation about the features of Silverlight 2.0 and how to use them to build a presentation about Silverlight 2.0. Got that? You'll learn about the XAML elements, dynamic languages, data binding and networking support available in Silverlight 2.0 Beta.
This is the same presentation Matt gave at CODODN, however with the newest release of Silverlight 2.0 at MIX his talk has been updated.
