TechEd 2005 - Thank you
I would like to extend my appreciation and thanks to everyone who has helped out with TechEd 2005, making the SgDotNet community booth a success.
In particular, Justin Ng aka Jieke who has consistently helped out in many of our events and activities. He has helped me with organising the booth, and the logistical stuff for the SgDotNet booth. Thank you!
I would also like to thank Stephen H. Wissel aka stw for helping me brainstorm for what to do for the 3 days. He has also helped to print our fantastic looking banner and 2 small posters that you'll see in the photos we took at TechEd. Thank you!
These 2 has helped me greatly and also volunteered their time and effort to look after the booth, and promote SgDotNet.
I would also like to thank Alan Andrews for looking after the booth for that short while, and also making TechEd 2005 such a fun place to be in.
I would also like to thank Mary Lee who personally helped to get the big A1 size poster printed, that filled up the center of the booth nicely. She was the one who gave the idea, and helped rushed it out to get it printed, else we won't have such a fantastic looking booth.
I would also like to thank Alvin Lau aka microlau again for printing the brochures and getting ready the flyers for the Joint User Group meeting, and other forms that was printed.
I would also like to thank Kit Kai aka kitkai for allowing us to store our Polo-Ts in his office.
And to the INETA, I would like to thank Shanjay Shetty, Fuu Jin (sorry if I got your name wrong), Weehyong, and everyone at the INETA booth who helped promote SgDotNet and create awareness of the user group, and also provided INETA t-shirts for the members of SgDotNet. Thank you!
During TechEd 2005 Asia, we have achieved our goals of creating awareness for the SgDotNet User Group, and had up to around 200 or more registered users for the past 3 days. Congratulations and let's give all of them our appreciation and thanks.
I would also like to thank Alvin Lau aka microlau for making the Joint User Group meeting on Thursday a success, with a turn out of about 420 people in total (SgDotNet, Sql Server UG, Sg Windows UG, MSDN Connection), out of which about 120 of our own members turned up, during which we had about 80 who signed up during TechEd.
For that Joint User Group, it won't have been a success without the help of Shunjie aka shunjie, Lawrence aka Cyprus Crypt (I hope I got your alias correct) and also Justin Ng aka Jieke whom all 5 of us (including Alvin and myself) helped out with the registration of the Joint User Group meeting. It was really busy with a lot of our members and new members queuing up to go in, but we made it happen! Thank you everyone.
I would also like to thank Sql Server User Group and Singapore Windows User Group, especially Suhkdev Singh and Dennis Chung for making the Joint User Group meeting happen, and planning for it, and also making it a successful meeting.
I would also like to thank William aka softwaremaker for coming up with the idea and help organise this Joint User Group meeting.
Last but not least, I would like to thank the Microsoft people for helping make the Joint User Group meeting work out, especially Rashish and Beng Cheong who helped greatly in making this Joint User Group meeting a success. Thanks!
I would also like to especially thank Howard Lo and Li Lian Quek for helping the user group in every way they can, even though it might be out of their job scope. Thank you very much.
I would like to thank Andrew for rushing the orders of the Polo-T to make it available during TechEd, and Wendy for spending the whole day rushing out the designs for the banners and posters.
And lastly, I would like to thank ALL OF YOU for making SgDotNet such a wonderful community to be in, and I really hope SgDotNet will continue its purpose as a community of passionate professionals that shares knowledge and learn new technologies together!
