In March, Florida.NET
participated in a one day conference called Tech Galaxy
where user groups from many different technologies
got together. Among the technologies represented
were Java, .NET (fladotnet.net of course!), Cisco,
Macintosh, Linux, Act, ACM Students, Palm OS,
FL2600. Each user group did one of their own
presentations so that the other groups could get a
feel for what goes on in the other areas. There
were 20 sessions total throughout the day,
although attendees had to choose between five
session during each of the four break out times.
In addition to the technical presentations, the
leader of the Macintosh group did a talk targetted
at user group leaders on the ins and outs of
running a user group. For more information on this
event, and to possibly get some ideas on
coordinating a similar one in your area visit www.techgalaxy.org.
