.NET Open Space 2008

.NET Open Space vom 18.10. bis 19.10.2008 in Leipzig

The best discussions happen in the coffee breaks of a conference. So why not arranging an event around the coffee breaks? As the name suggests, .NET Open Space 2008 is organized as an open space.

This isn't a typical developers conference. There are no designated speakers and no agenda.

You decide what to talk about! 

The conference itself is free, but the available places are limited.

The .NET Open Space 2008 will cover these four topics:

  • ALT.NET
  • Mobile Computing
  • Soft Skills
  • .NET on embedded systems and microcontroller electronics


What will be discussed under those topics depends on you. Join us for free.

Please note that the "conference" is held in German language only.

I will be there and I am the contact person for the .NET Micro Framework topic.
