INETA North America Sponsorhip Program
(from the INETA NORAM website:)
On June 1st INETA North America launched an extensive new Sponsorship Program aimed at raising funds to expand and improve services for our members. Over the past six months the INETA NorAm Sponsorship Team, led by Sponsorship Director Pat Tormey, has designed a great program with many options for sponsorship at a variety of levels. In the four years since our founding, INETA has grown tremendously and to deliver programs and services to our members requires substantial funding and volunteer time. During the past year the INETA NorAm Board of Directors has targeted key areas for expansion and growth to better serve our members. As part of that strategic analysis it became evident we needed to establish a substantial and diverse sponsor base.
The new Sponsorship Program consists of four main levels of sponsorship (Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze) and a wide range of services from which a custom sponsorship program is designed for each sponsor. The services available to sponsors focus on INETA’s key strength of providing the opportunity to reach a targeted audience of software developers focused on Microsoft technologies.
If you are interested in learning more about INETA sponsorship programs, please email marketing@ineta.org.

Backslash? Forwardslash? Whichslash?
I still can’t ever remember which one is back slash and which one is forward. In this post, I’m trying to figure out just why that is and how I might be able to help myself with this silly but annoying problem [read more …]

Great photos of Burlington fireworks by Marc Chadwick
I was just chatting with my neighbor who saw the fireworks in Burlington last night and was astonished at how great they were and then happened to see Marc Chadwick’s post in my aggregator to get the visual’s, too.
Roman Rehak – Newest MVP in Vermont!
Hip hip hooray! Roman Rehak has been awarded an MVP for SQL Server. Roman co-leads the Vermont SQL Server User group (with Laura Blood) and has been track chair for SQL PASS and the DevTeach SQL Track for a number of years.
As far as I know, there are now four six MVPs in Vermont. Zoe Hart has also been one for a while and she works at the same company as Roman in Burlington. Anne Stanton is on the NH/VT border and runs a small business server group and is a total CRM guru. Also, Kate Chase (a renowned author and Office MVP) and Steve Hebert who is an I.E. MVP live in Vermont.
[Roman was smart enough to find a search by state feature and there are 6, count ’em, six, MVPs in our little state. Vermont always has the “highest per capita” rankings because of our small population of app. 625,000, so I wonder if 1:100,000 is it? 🙂 ]
INETA NORAM’s New Website is just around the corner
It’s been a long time coming and through a variety of teams, proposals from outside companies, budgets, and plans -with one roadblock after another preventing it from coming to fruition over the past few years, but INETA NORAM (North America) is finally getting a new website and, according to the current site , is going to be launched soon.
Congrats and muchos gracias to all of the volunteers who have worked hard on this.
