• CINNUG and CinARC Weather Policy

  It's that time of year again...school delays, school closings, winter weather advisories Oh My!   I know what you're thinking - "What if we have bad weather on a scheduled meeting night?  I don't want to miss any of the great content, but how will I know if the meeting is canceled?" Our primary concern is everyone's safety, so we will be making our decisions based on that.  After alll, we can reschedule speakers!  Here are the guidelines for the meetings: Max follows University of Cincinnati.  If UC is closed, Max is closed, so we are cancelled.  Tune to your fave news or web site to get the school closing lists. If Max decides to close on their own (but UC is still open), we will also not have a meeting. If the Directors decide to cancel the meeting (with the ultimate decision maker being the Lead Director), then the meeting will be cancelled. Ok, so now we know the policy, but how we will be notified? This web site - we will update this page as soon as we know we are cancelling a meeting Twitter - follow www.twitter.com/cinnug or any of the directors - besides, they are all cool folks and you should follow them anyway!

• Lap Around PDC featuring Steve Ballmer

  Did you miss the Professional Developers Conference in November?  If so, join us as we bring the “highlights” from the PDC09 conference to you!  At this special FREE event we will cover the latest Microsoft technologies and exciting announcements from PDC09 and deliver over 16 sessions presented by Microsoft, Partners, MVPs and Community Leaders.  The keynote will be delivered by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, and will cover Microsoft’s three screens and the cloud strategy. Microsoft is releasing more than 25 products and frameworks over the next six months, more than at any other time. Our goal is to get you up to speed on what is coming, and how it can help you do more with what you have. The sessions will cover multiple technologies such as Microsoft® Windows® Azure™, Visual Studio® 2010, .NET 4, Silverlight™ 4, SharePoint Server® 2010, SQL Server® 2008 R2, Windows® 7, and Windows Server® 2008 R2. During the event, we encourage you to network with your peers and chat one-on-one with the speakers at the “Ask the Experts” area to get all of your questions answered. You can also visit the Customer Showcase area to see how customers are using the latest technologies in real world applications, and the amazing results they are seeing. We will also showcase the latest Windows powered gadgets and mobile devices in the Customer Showcase area. If seeing isn’t enough, we will also have a fully staffed Hands-On-Lab area packed with PCs, labs you can practice with, and expert staff to help you learn the new tools. We will be hosting the event at Vanderbilt University Student Life Center in Nashville, TN. Specific information about event parking and shuttle service will be posted on the registration site and emailed to you prior to the event as well. Every attendee will receive a Visual Studio 2010 Beta2 DVD, a t-shirt and an event bag filled with a collection of product information, case studies and other great resources.  We will also be raffling off some great prizes at the end of the day! Come spend the day with us and learn about the future of developer technology!
