IndigoRoadShow - Tampa Report - Aug 11, 2005

Yet another great Indigo Roadshow for Florida, this time in Tampa. Rich Turner and Ami Vora from the Indigo, er ah Windows Communication Framework came all the way to Tampa via Fort Lauderdale. The RoadShow was a full house with over 200 people registered. Thanks to the various user groups and INETA for helping to let folks know about the event. Each attendee received the Indigo book, DVD, and an Indigo "collectors edition" tshirt. Sharpies will be issues to scratch out Indigo and re-label them WCF.

IndigoRoadShow was a user group tour by the product team. On the eval forms, we asked the users to list which user groups they were associated with. Here's the breakout of what user groups folks said they were associated with. Double voting counts. I'll be ordering SarasotaDev a box of books for their next meeting as they came the closest to winning the user group contest, not by the most number of attendees, but by the highest percentage of members attending! Similar to the Lauderdale event, about 1/3 of the attendees associated on the eval forms with belonging to a user group.

The crowd awaits the stars.	Ami Vora and a full house!

A special thanks to Alex, Keith, Stan, Shawn, and JoelM, and the various other user group staff who helped us get this event going. Once again, Florida was a great place to hold the Indigo Tour.

Gulf States developers rock!
