In this episode, Dane and Andrew talk with David Giard from Detroit, Michigan, about the upcoming 10th anniversary meeting of the Great Lakes Area .NET Users Group (GANG), its founding, and some of the efforts he and the rest of the GANG leadership have made to successfully grow the group over the last 2 years. GANG has more than doubled their attendance and had great success in getting attendees more involved, so if you run a user group (or are thinking about starting one), this is a show you won’t want to miss.
We also talk with David about recent guests on his Technology and Friends video podcast series, and his recent conference and user group talks on topics including Data Visualization and jQuery.
