Hello User Group Member:

ODUG News

ODUG Meeting is NEXT TUESDAY!

We are very excited to announce that our next meeting is still an ODUG meeting, but we will be having a joint meeting for the first time, ever! The folks at the ONETUG love our meeting topic, speaker, and idea so much that they are changing their meeting date to be with US.

This means that the ODUG and ONETUG will both be meeting at Orlando City Hall next Tuesday, May 4th. However, the meeting time has changed for this meeting as well. In order to fit in all of the content, we are starting a bit earlier than usual, at 6:30 PM.

Our speaker, Nik Kalyani, is not only the co-founder of the DotNetNuke® Corporation, but he is also the founder of a new technology start-up called HyperCrunch. He is not only bringing himself, but he is bringing some incredible prizes with him! Nik has a new concept for meetings called a Hackathon, where the attendees follow along with the presenter to learn the topic and have a working example at the end of the meeting. If you have the best working example, you have the chance to win a cherry red Dell Vostro 3500, or one of (2) Acer netbooks!

Mini-Presentation: Using the MarkIt Module

Forget about pop-ups! MarkIt has a great module that allows you to have an interactive and fun way of getting your visitor's attention - a page ear! Using just two images and an easy to use module, you can create a very fun way for your website customer to interact with your brand!

If you are interested in having a 5-10 minute spot at any of the next meetings, please use the contact form on our website. Describe in detail what you want to talk about, and we'll get you up there. Additionally, if you have an idea for a short topic that you'd like to hear more about, those comments are very welcome too!
