I checked Christian Nagel's web log, a fellow Regional Director, INETA Europe buddy and good friend and saw that he had been recognized as an MVP on his birthday. Congratulations Christian, and happy birthday!

At the last user group meeting in December we had Longhorn, Indigo, Avalon and Whidbey on the menu. This generated a lot of interest and we in the Norwegian .NET User Group (NNUG) and Microsoft MSDN is co-arranging a tour where you can learn more about the future with Yukon, Indigo and Whidbey. We are going to Bergen, Oslo, Stavanger and Trondheim. I will be presenting Whidbey in Bergen on Thursday.

On Thursday Arvindra Sehmi, Clemens Vasters and others are coming to Oslo on their EMEA Architect Tour. If you are in Oslo, and haven’t signed up yet you can do so here. I am working to squeeze in room for attending this, they were very good on the tour last year!

We have had a lot of interest for the PDC user group meeting today. So much in fact that we do not have room for everyone even though we use Microsoft Norway’s new premises with a bigger auditorium.  Good with so much interest, too bad that we don’t have room for everyone.

A client has a third-party application written for version 1.0 of the runtime. This is a web application using windows forms controls in the browser.

Our user group, the Norwegian .NET User Group, will have a meeting on Tuesday focusing the news presented at the PDC. We will have one keynote and then three sessions digging into Indigo, Avalon and ASP.NET. All sessions presented by people from the user group. I will present the session on ASP.NET 2.0.
