Last week marked my seventh CodeMash, having only missed the very first one (a fact of which I’m still sad about). As usual, the conference was top notch. It’s amazing what a small number of dedicated volunteers can pull off. At the end of the event they brought up the staff and there was less than two dozen folks there. That’s the all volunteer staff that pulled off a four day conference for 2,000 people.
Update:: We have moved the event to the Hyatt place across Mason-Montgomery road. We are in the meeting room. The address is 5070 Natorp Blvd.
As I mentioned in a previous post there will be a holiday gathering on Sunday, December 15th at the Microsoft office in Mason. The Cincinnati .NET User Group will be supplying some treats and there will be plenty of board games to choose from to play.
The awesome CodePaLOUsa conference is scheduled for Feb 24th-26th. The 24th is a pre-conference day with workshops. If you’ve not been to CodePaLOUsa, I highly recommend it. The organizers do an outstanding job and visiting Louisville, KY can be unique experience. There are a ton of great speakers, and this year Leon Gersing will be giving one of the keynotes, along with Collen Slaughter, Elle Waters and Tim Huckaby. If you need to convince your boss they even have a printable PDF with why they should send you.
