Promoting OzFox

We're looking for ways to promote OzFox - it seems many Foxies in Australia haven't heard about it. We'd hate developers to miss out on Ken, Doug, Rick and the rest of the gang just because I couldn't reach them. Please let people know, or if you have any suggestions email me at cb@talman.com.au

OzFox Early Bird Special extended to this Friday

We've extended the Early Bird Registration Special until this Friday.

OzFox sessions skill levels

This one is for the people coming or considering coming to OzFox. It was obvious at Devcon that people's skill levels covered a big range, eg some were experts in XML, some had no idea what it was. As a result, a few of the OzFox speakers asked me what skill level they should be aiming for, after they don't want to dumb it down for an advanced group, nor have it go over everyone's heads.

So, let me know what you'd like. I'm thinking it is better to aim the talks high for the more advanced users. That way, even if you're getting left behind you can grab a speaker or OzFox colleague after the session and ask them questions. But let me know if you think differenty. Send me an email to cb@talman.com.au

OzFox speakers are excited

I had the privilege of meeting with Ken Levy, Rick Strahl, David Stevenson and Doug Hennig whilst I've been here at FoxPro Devcon. All of them are super gracious, very generous with their time and ultra supportive of OzFox. It was a great time meeting them and hearing about their plans for Sydney and OzFox.

Australia, you are in for a real treat in November.
