MikeFitz with overflow bit set…

Well you should have been there!  You missed a great opportunity to meet your peers in a relaxing environment where we could actually hear each other talk. (Monday nights are fairly quiet in the restaurant business and we had an outside table.)

Thanks to Peter Ward for organising last night’s Community Dinner.  We didn’t learn about any up-coming technologies (that’s what user group meetings are for) but a great night was had by all.  We even had an opportunity to chat with well-known Sydney blow-in (and Microsoft Regional Director) Adam Cogan.

Tell you what, come along next time and I guarantee you will meet two kinds of people…

1. People with the same skill set as yourself.
   These folks are striking or have struck the same problems as you are currently encountering. And we all know that two heads are better than one.
2. People with different skills to you.
   These are the folks who can fill in the skill gaps and help you out on your next project. And because you have shared a meal with them, they are now your mates. Productive business partnerships are born this way.

Keep an eye on the Queensland Developer Events page for details of the next Community Dinner. Alternatively, feel free to contact me or Peter (peter @ wardyit.com) if you would like an e-mail invitation.
