As I am really disapointed that I couldn’t attend one more Alt.Net gathering in Seattle (had to fly home) I again started thinking of meeting people from my own region on a similar event.

You can take a look at some videos of how it was in Seattle:

Also, to find out more about this type of event and the principles and values that this group charishes, take a look here:

So… anyone interested? We can start of with Beer-meetups and work our way from there or something… just if there is anyone interested (either for a beer on the same topics or even a small conf)?

Drop me a comment if you are.

Cheers!

= people who believe in the values proposed by the Alt.Net crowd, and are still lurking in the shadows learning the finer art from the peers like Oren Eini, Scott Bellware and Jeremy Miller.

Just thought of it while reading the Alt.Net mailing list

(in case your wondering… I am an Alt.Net Youngster :))

When reading some of my favorite blogs ver the past couple of days I ‘ve been reading about what ALT.NET is, what is stands for - and most importantly waht it doesn’t stand for.

I don’t understand what all the fuss is… these people have been talking about this for ages over their blogs, sessions on events and stuff… so definetly now calling it somehow finally (if you can call it like that) is not strange.


It’s not that they are re-inventing the wheel or something… they are simply talking and trying to gather around them people which love, believe and share the sense for common values. If you just look at their blog posts, over and over again they are sending the messages of the values they believe in… nothing more nothing less (in my opinion, you can have your own of course :))

I simply refuse to believe it’s the alternative (as something conotated as side way) - it’s the same, in my opinion even better ways that these guys are talking about… and it’s all about the values.



On a side note… how do you feel about organizing ALT.NET event?

I would be interested in doing one in Croatia (or this region for that matter) if we can gather up the interested audience.

Are you from Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Serbia and you are interested in sharing these kind of values? Drop me a note, maybe we can get together somewhere



Cheers!
