I’m going to be at NxtGenUG Birmingham next Monday, talking about LINQ Extensibility. Here’s information about the event – looking forward to meeting you there!

Speaking of grok talks in conjunction with DDD 5, there’s also a meeting of the London .NET User Group coming up on Feb 22nd, that focuses on grok talks on Windows Vista and Office 2007. Last I heard, Ian was still looking for attendees as well as volunteers for the grok talks themselves, so if you want to be there or even help out, be sure to let him know!

June 30th, 2007 it’s going to be. Session proposals are not accepted yet, that is planned for March. I expect sooner or later there’ll also be an “official” announcement on the DDD web page, so this is just a first heads-up.

One thing that was first tested at DDD 4 were the grok talks in the lunch breaks, and as they were a great success, the organizers are planning to keep them up. So if you’ve never spoken at such an event before, and a 1 hour sessions seems rather to you, consider coming up with a good grok talk topic and try things out in an informal setting.
