Philly ALT.NET Picking Up Steam

posted @ Friday, September 28, 2007 2:39 PM

Only a couple days after my initial post about starting a Philly ALT.NET user group, we've broken the 20 member mark in our Yahoo Group!  This reference on Scott Bellware's blog definitely helped. Even Brian Button is getting the fever - a little birdy (aka watching Steve Eichert's Twitter feed as he sits next to me at Ruby East) told me that he is thinking about starting an ALT.NET group in St. Louis.

Dave Laribee, the creator of the term "ALT.NET," was nice enough to contact me and offer to help out, and says he'll try to make it down to some meetings.  So, we are rolling along toward scheduling our first meeting!  Please email me or comment here if you have any interest in helping out with finding a venue, presenting, or sponsoring (food, venue, etc).  I will surely post about the first meeting here, but why not join our mailing list?

P.S.  You can join directly via email by emailing:

UPDATE:  Momentum is really building...  Utah's starting an ALT.NET group (they even borrowed our content, which is flattering - or maybe they just haven't gotten around to writing anything better yet!).  PhatBoyG is shouting out to us, too...
