June will see CADUG back at the Microsoft Store in Oakbrook. As promised, we are trying to hold our monthly meetings in different parts of Chicagoland to attract more users.

Please RSVP at the Meetup website page so we know how much pizza to order.

We'll be talking about May's CMS Expo, user group advice from DNN Corporate, and Version 6.2, among other things. If you have a unique DNN solution that you'd like to share during TechTalk, please contact Don to get on the schedule. We welcome your input!

Bring your friends and colleagues! There is plenty of technical talk, but we also encourage admin users to attend. With so many techies in the room, this is a great opportunity for you to ask questions or get help.

See you on Tuesday, June 5 at 6:30 for DNN Labs (questions and demos) and 7:30 for the meeting agenda.

CADUG held its May meeting at the Meetup Monday Night event at the CMS Expo in Evanston. We were one of several CMS user groups who met in various rooms at the Orrington Hotel. Evanston is not an area where we normally meet so, as expected, some of our regulars were unable to attend while we also saw a few new faces that we hope will come to more meetings.

We were hoping that Shaun Walker would be in town early enough to be at our meeting, he was not. Phil and Don gave presentations. Don presented a case study of a client site in which he demonstrated the use of off-the-shelf modules for advanced functionality. Phil showed off a website he built for a small school that takes advantage of the user system in which he has created custom functionality using the versatile Open Web Studio.

Don was in attendance for the remainder of the CMS Expo and talked with Shaun and other DNN folk during the week. He'll recap the highlights at the next meeting. In general, however, there were not a whole lot of DNN enthusiasts at this event. The organizers are hoping to do a little research into this issue for next year.

We'll be holding a special meetup in Evanston one week later than normal next month, since May 8 is the start of CMSexpo.

Visit CMSexpo.net for all the details - it's worth the price of admission - but regardless, we'd like to see our DNN friends at the free meetup on Tuesday night at 5:30.
