yag's status report - June 7, 2002

Status Report - June 7, 2002


Howdy everyone, sorry I missed last week and that this one was late. Turns
out the reason I was exhausted (which I mentioned in my last report) was
that I was coming down with a bad case of the flu or something similar. I
was out for a coupl'a days - but the doctor gives me a clean bill of health
now. <s>



Someone sent me a message saying that they like the walkthroughs on MSDN
(see below where I point to some), but would like more, or improved ones.
So, I figured I'd ask the same question of you - what walkthroughs would you
be interested in?



The highlights for the week:


1. Coding continues on the new VB community website on GotDotNet. I was
supposed to get and install an early build internally this week, but due to
the flu cancelled the meeting. Rescheduled it for this weekend (gotta catch
up), so I should know more next week. Current target is still mid-June. The
basic idea is to have a great place to announce what's available on all
sites - not just on GotDotNet.



2. Lots of work on getting people online and more user group support. A
number of folks went to the local User Group on Wednesday and then out to
dinner with some of the members. Lots of great feedback there.



3. Work on the next version of VB .NET



4. Work on rolling out community awareness and feedback to the worldwide
subs. Working with many others on a plan now so that we can do it properly.



5. Continuing planning for the next set of chats - if you have any topics
you'd like covered, let me know!

"Howdy everyone, sorry I missed last week and that this one was late."...
Just wonder - who reads this anyway?! From my perspective the most useless thing around.

Yair:

Roy's response is not my perspective, nor, I suspect, is it the perspective
of most of the other developers who visit this site. We appreciate your
efforts.

Thanks,

Heh, yeah, your own credentials for being "attuned" to this audience are certainly
well-established, huh? <LOL>
