Don is a bit of a rebel, you know, it’s the motorcycle thing. He has had is own blog for a while over at dev4net.com but has also just started blogging on msdn weblogs (http://weblogs.asp.net/donsmith). Don’s the guy who wrote the first major wse2 security article over on the dev center. He has also been a great help to me while putting together my WSE2 Security for Dummies Humans presentation (and forthcoming msdn online article).

When talking with Carl & Rory about INETA on DotNetRocks last Friday, I mentioned (not for the first time) the amazing explosion of .NET in LATAM. It always surprises me. Here is a perfect example for a blog post today.

Flipping through a recent issue of Visual Studio Magazine, I see not one but two pictures of the ever fun-loving Shervin Shakibi, an INETA guy and user group leader in Florida. Of course, that would be due to the fact that the article was written by Jason Beres! What a hoot. Hi Sherv!

Through INETA, I get the thrill of seeing .NET user groups popping up all over the world. Here is Michal Chaniewski, a .NET developer in Poland who is not only translating a 900 page ASP.NET book into Polish, but just won 2nd place in a .NET competition held by Microsoft Poland. Congrats Michal! I have roots in Poland, so this stuff definitely catches my eye!

and it looks like it’s on Community Server! Stuart is pretty well known and very involved in the .NET community in the PacNorthWest area, so we tricked him into being the INETA liaison for all of the INETA groups in Washington, Idaho and Oregon (where he is).

As ScottW says: Come and Get it! The Community Server project grew from the merger of Community Forums that evolved from ASP.NET Forums, .Text and nGallery.

Scott Dockendorf, who I know one of the guys that runs the Dallas .NET User Group, just went on board this week as the latest addition to the TelligentSystems team.

Just listened to the awesome Kate Gregory’s recent DotNetRocks show. Here are f a few funny quotes from the show.

“Typing is so 2002” (re: intellisense)

“I am a device for converting caffeine into code”  (re: soda for breakfast)

“Be scared of Enterprise Services” Why? Becuase MS’s recommendation is don’t use it unless you really really need it!

“If you believe that there is a little guy in your computer who kind of runs around and carries things around for you, you’re going to have a much better time in my course.”
