OpenForce DSA101 Selling DotNetNuke, Why Your Client's Should Be Using It

OpenForce DSA202 Introduction to DNN5 Administration

I am going to break up my DSA101 session into a series of blog postings, I hope to have those started up later this week!

Edit: Updated the second link

Why DotNetNuke Corp getting funding is good for you!

By Chris Hammond on 11/25/2008 10:28 AM

All of this information is simply my opinion, value it, or devalue it as you may ;)

So in case you live under a rock, DotNetNuke Corporation announced that they’ve raised Series A Capital through a couple of venture firms this week. This was actually announced this morning, so you wouldn’t have to be under a rock to miss it just yet ;)

As a DotNetNuke Core Team member, and owner of a business that lives primarily in the DotNetNuke Ecosystem, I think this is a great thing. Two years ago the DotNetNuke Corporation formed with the focus of continuing to drive the DNN open source project further into the future, making it strong and better for all users of the platform.

Done with my first OpenForce Presentation

By Chris Hammond on 11/11/2008 2:59 PM

So I just finished up my DNN presentation, “How to sell DNN, why your customers should be using it” we had a lot of great questions going on after the presentation. I’m looking forward to my session on Thursday.

I'll blog more after I get some food.

Shaun's Keynote for OpenForce

By Chris Hammond on 11/11/2008 12:18 PM

So Shaun’s Keynote is about to start, Joe is doing some quick announcements.

The room is packed! People standing in the back.

Looks like about half the room had been to OpenForce last year, maybe more, maybe less.

Agenda

OpenForce Guthrie's Keynote

By Chris Hammond on 11/11/2008 12:17 PM

There must be a thousand people or more sitting here in the room with us watching Scott Guthrie’s keynote here on the first day of DevConnections/OpenForce 2008.

Scott is currently showing some of the cool features that shipped with .NET 3.5 SP1 and VS 2k8 SP1 regarding object relational mappers (demo done in vb.net).

Two weeks until Openforce 08!

By Chris Hammond on 10/27/2008 9:37 AM

So there are only a couple of weeks left until Openforce 08 in Las Vegas. We (the guys from Engage) leave St. Louis two weeks from this today. We’re setting up a booth this year, #611, be sure to stop by and check it out.

As for the rest of the conference, it’s a must attend if you’re doing any DotNetNuke development or management within your organization, where else will you find so many DotNetNuke resources in one place? Last year there were 3 DNN booths in the expo hall, R2i, ActiveModules and the DNN Corp. This year there are 10 DNN Vendors setting up shop in the hall.

Another day of OpenForce, I hope it doesn’t end!

By Chris Hammond on 10/7/2008 4:22 AM

Wow, I must say anyone not attending OpenForce here in The Netherlands this week is missing out (sorry Alex!). It has been a great conference, lots of great people to meet and ideas to discuss.

I just finished my last session and came upstairs to change before I head back down to do more socializing. If you’re still here and haven’t met me, please come up and say hello.

If you’re still on the fence about going to OpenForce in Las Vegas in November, get off the fence and get registered! www.openforce08.com

Shaun's Keynote

By Chris Hammond on 10/6/2008 5:37 AM

So we’re all sitting here in Shaun’s keynote, my photo was incorrect earlier when I posted that no one showed up

Shaun's Keynote.... by you.

that’s just a photo from the room prior to the keynote, there are actually other people in the room, but I took the empty half. Right now there are probably 50-60 people in the room.

OpenForce08 Europe under way

By Chris Hammond on 10/6/2008 1:41 AM

So Openforce08 Europe is under way. There are 26 or 27 of us sitting here in room 23 watching Stefan Cullmann talking about UDT 5(Forms & Lists) module. Nik Kalyani is next door presenting about Vista Gadgets with DNN. If you're not here you are missing out on some good topics! You should look into OpenForce in Las Vegas next month!

I'm prepping for my two presentations later today. I also have my Camera here, I hope to post some pictures on Flickr

DNN Presentation at the New England Visual Basic User's Group

By Chris Hammond on 9/24/2008 9:54 AM

Tomorrow evening (Thursday the 25th) I will be presenting at the New England Visual Basic User's Group meeting. The session will be on a special date for their usual meetings as they scheduled it around my already planned trip to the Boston area for the Red Sox Yankees series this weekend at Fenway.

If you're in the area check out the http://www.nevb.com/ website for more information!

I will be developing a new website for their user group as part of the presentation, building the site with DNN of course. Stop by and say hello if you're there.
