Indianapolis InstallFest 2008
Tonight I’m with the Indianapolis .NET Developers Association for their holiday party. What better way to celebrate than hand out 175 copies of Visual Studio 2008 Professional! This is our third InstallFest in the Midwest District (only 2nd one executed as Milwaukee was canceled but will be rescheduled) and what has blown me away from these events is the generosity of the group members and their donations for our toy drive (pictures to come soon). What else has me giddy with excitement is the great demos we’ve seen in our demo challenges. We’ve also seen some great blog posts sharing the experience of the InstallFests for those unfortunate folks who couldn’t make it in person.
So now…the challenge goes out to you Indianapolis! Submit your blog posts and picture links here. Remember the rules. Submit a comment to this post (Indianapolis only) linking back to your blog post sharing the InstallFest experience from Indy. For those of you who brought your digital cameras, post your pictures up at Flickr or Windows Live Photo Gallery and provide a link back here as well. I will draw from those submissions and award a lucky person a spanking new Zune 80GB! The deadline is Sunday, Dec. 17th at 11:59 pm. I will announce the winner on Monday morning, Dec. 18th.
Good luck to you all and thank you for joining us for the VS2008 InstallFest!
