IVBUG Celebrates its Seventh Birthday
Last night, the Israel Visual Basic User Group (IVBUG) celebrated its seventh birthday! I'll include some pictures from our meeting/party at the end of this post.
I must say, that the continued success of this User Group is something in which I take a lot of pride. Seven years ago, nobody in Israel, certainly not in the Microsoft world, had any idea of what a User Group with monthly meetings was. From speaking to people I knew, I saw that there was definitely interest, and I also got support/sponsorship from Microsoft.
Over the years, I made some very good friends from people at these meetings and we looked forward to our monthly live get-together. I was also fortunate that over the years many different talented and nice people chose to become regular attendees at these meetings. We have helped each other solve and/or evaluate many tricky problems and issues.
Based on the model and success of this User Group, more than a dozen other groups focussing on MS tools and technologies have started up here. I hope that they all continue to have as much success, and fun, as I have had, hosting and attending these monthly meetings.
