David, While I am hoping for a good turnout, given the short notice I don't expect we will have a full house. So I see no reason why non-MSU folks shouldn't come. Richard Hale Shaw is a popular, nationally-known speaker, but 147 Comm Arts seats 264. Speaking of affiliations, I am especially hoping that folks who have no plans to develop in the .NET environment to join us as well. Many of my colleagues and friends prefer Perl/PHP/MySQL etc. over Microsoft technologies, but may also appreciate this overview. /rich >Rich, > >I am sorry if I am out of place but I was interested in knowing if NON-MSU > staff/students can attend.
