Changes
A number of changes are happening within the Guernsey Developer Users Group!
We have changed the name to the Guernsey Software Developers Forum to better reflect the nature of the events and moved the Guernsey Software Developers Forum web site over to a new location, host and software.
It is also our intention to arrange presentations as often as possible as fewer members were interested in the free-format discussion events.
Next event
The next event will be on Thursday 28th of June 2007 starting at 6pm at the Guernsey Training Agency offices above the post-office in Smith Street, St. Peter Port.
As always the doors are open to everyone so if you have an interest in any of these subjects just turn up and grab a chair. The planned agenda is:
Opening

I wouldn’t mind doing one although I’d need a decent topic. I’ll be working on some collaborative, real-time, graphics sharing software this summer, although there won’t be much to show off in that space of time.
We tend to work them out during the same month but bandy ideas around for a little while before.
John Surcombe has been threatening to do one on NHibernate and MonoRail, myself one on SubSonic and Adrian one on SQL Reporting Services and/or Trac.
I was quite excited about this site starting up as I had no clue until Steve told me. I’ve also had someone by the name of Peter (I believe) recently add me on gtalk who’s also a member of GSDF. I must say, this will definitely allow growth in local software development I think.
It’s a shame I’ll miss tomorrows presentation as I’m currently in the UK for work. There’s some features of my software which I’d love to showcase as well, things like remote configuration managers.
Is there any more presentations lined up for the summer time?
