Its going to be a busy week because the following day, Saturday the 5th of April starts the second BarcampOrlando. The first day is geared towards developers and the second towards media. Don’t miss the official after party GeekOut ‘08! It should be a great day of learning and meeting fellow geeks in Orlando. I will be meeting Gregg early on dev day to help pickup the chairs for the event. If you would like to help unload or setup other aspects please come by.

Last, I would like to mention another geek meetup I along with some help from others am trying to revive/startup. OrlandoPHP will be a monthly meetup to discuss and learn everything PHP. If you dabble in PHP development or are interested in picking up more knowledge, stop on by! Our first meeting is scheduled for April 22nd at Devry from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. We are currently planning on reviewing the the available frameworks for php and discussing their pros and cons. If you have any questions or want to help get this going contact me.

The team at NFi has been working hard the last couple of months on our upcoming professional networking product for associations. We have just released the Memberfuse Website now and I would like to say that Bender our creative director has done an excellent job. I really love the overall look and theme, especially the new themes inside of the product (see glimpses).

Look for an official release of the first version of the product in the next couple of months. Until then I would like to thank everyone on the team for their hard work in getting us this far.
