The first one with the music…and where we say thank you to the backroom folks, the Microsoft events staff, catering staff, security staff, etc. – all the folks that make events happen, but rarely receive any thanks.

In this, the fourth Community podcast, I spend a few minutes chatting to Barry Carr, Gary Short and Hamish Hughson of North East of Scotland .NET user group about the relative merits of “joining an IT-focused user group”. Recorded in The Riverside in Reading, it was raining, there were 40+ folks around – I was lucky to get some time to catch up with these guys as they start out with their user group. I was also able to elicit their thoughts on some of the DDD5 sessions that managed to attend. It was raining, so I had to filter the audio a little…hang in there, it’s still very understandable.

Download the podcast here. If you recognise the lady at the start and end of the podcast, well done, it’s Dave’s wife – she also does the NxtGenUG leader and trailer audio! Transcript to follow.

I have a new podcast feed available too, you can subscribe to it here – and it works with Apple’s iTunes!
