News from the DNN_Chat module

dnn@taunusstein.org — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 13:13:00 GMT

After I started with developing my first own module on C# I noticed that the DNN_Chat module is brocken when used in any of the DNN versions. I got in contact with its team lead Stefan Kamphuis and noticed that existing team was very small. Accordingly I offered my contribution helping the module to work on DNN5.x.

First European Day of DotNetNuke – A great Event

dnn@taunusstein.org — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:21:00 GMT

On May, 28^th 2010 the first conference „of the European Day OF DotNetNuke” took place in Paris. For me this was the first international DotNetNuke meeting, according I was very excited to meet the other core team members, with whom I had been communicating before online only. As a further hurdle, I was intimidated by the language barrier, because I still fight with my English with time since school has passed decades. In Paris, however, I became aware that I am not the only one with this situation ;)

A highlight for me was meeting DotNetNuke founder Shaun Walker, the personal contact is always something special. That is valid also for meeting face to face to face with other core members and many DotNetNuke Professionals from Europe, with which I had been in contact. I positively felt that this event brought European dotnetnukers together, from Portugal to Belarus - a giant success!

Altogether the meeting was a round thing: It started on Thursday evening with the Get-together party, where approx. 80 participants used the opportunity to get in contact and exchange. On Friday it was difficult to select the most interesting ones of the many parallel lectures - much too many exciting topics we listed on the program, being presented by qualified speakers. In the evening all speakers and volunteers met again for the dinner, where the meeting was rounded up again with good discussions and contacts.

Saturday morning followed the meeting of DNN-Europe.net, in order to discuss further activities. This meeting was ended with a French lunch menu, and followed for a hard core group with a cruise on the Seine and a small tourist route through Paris.

Altogether the meeting was very well organized: on the one hand the modern outstanding conference center of Microsoft Paris presents itself ideally for a meeting like this: technically fully equipped conference rooms and a communicative lobby, where besides the food supply the exhibitors were intensively visited. In addition, the restaurant for the Get-together party and the boat for the Speakers Dinner gave special flair to the meeting.

DNN Europe, the European network of the DNN Professionals, in cooperation with the French user group successfully delivered an initial event, generating the desire for more;). Cordial thanks to Sebastian Leupold and the organization team!

Above all I want to say special thanks to the French Usergroup for their extremely friendly support, i.e. Benoit Sarton, who was helpful me also with the check-in in the hotel:), his daughter Arianne and Gilles Le Pigocher, for their personal support during the meeting.

Summing up, I was more than satisfied with the European Day of DotNetNuke and I hope there will be more of these conferences in the future, allowing more users to participate, in order to lend to DotNetNuke in Europe the appropriate weight.

dnn@taunusstein.org — Fri, 14 May 2010 20:33:00 GMT

Since I beginning working with DotNetNuke in 2005 I missed a module that could view the statistic data from a Shoutcast Broadcasting Server. After the years I become more inside the coding and I started with my own project to this. Now I am happy to announce you that a first ALPHA release I have posted to http://dnnshoutcaststats.codeplex.com .

Gallery Project Update

dnn@taunusstein.org — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 18:30:00 GMT

The latest build of the DNN Media Gallery ran without issues on the last testing round by our internal Testing Team. I have to say many thanks to the Gallery Testing Team and special thanks to Chuck Buchanan and Jos Richter who ran all test cases several times and spent a lot of hours on project testing. So we are very near to a final public Beta release on the Gallery project site in the DotNetNuke Forge/CodePlex. The Beta release will permit the Gallery module to be tested in non-production environments only. Hopefully many community users will take the time to test and promptly report issues to our Forum. After fixing any posted issues as quickly as it is possible, we will finally be able to submit the module to the official DotNetNuke module release process.
