« Geek Dinner Tonight | Main | Starting the Month Off Right - VS.NET/SQ... »

We had an awesome Geek Dinner tonight organized by DevUtah and sponsored by DevUtah and ProvoLabs.  We had about 65 people show up for a fantastic dinner at Los Hermanos.  After a few logistical issues we all got settled in and had a great presentation by Dr. Phil Windley on microformats.  It was a lot of fun.  We then each had the opportunity to share information about the various user groups around the valleys (.NET, PHP, Linux, Unix, Ruby, etc).

When Phil and I started DevUtah we were hoping for some community enthusiasm and I think we got it...what fun!  I just wish that more of the .NET group had shown up - virtually no one from the .NET User Group was there which was very disappointing.  The vast majority of attendees were BYU students and open source enthusiasts (but there's nothing wrong with that).

Our plan is to be able to put on these Geek Dinners once a month, and I hope this enthusiasm continues.

It was fun to see a lot of people come out. It was nice to meet a lot of people I had only read before. :)

I believe some members from the .NET User Groups are there. I was there and you are there too. ;-)

Well, yes there were 4 total, but I was sincerely hoping for more support. The .NET Community was not well represented there - though we did have a voice, which was good.
