.NET Rocks! INETA

INETA

Episode #30 Monday, June 23, 2003

The International .NET Association (INETA) provides structured, peer-based organizational, educational, and promotional support to the growing worldwide community of Microsoftr .NET user groups. INETA's mission is to offer assistance and resources to community groups that promote and educate their membership in Microsofts .NET technologies. INETA welcomes all facets of the .NET user community, from developers and architects to project managers and IT professionals. Members can be user groups or special interest groups that:

Focus on a single aspect of .NET, such as VB.NET, C#, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, etc.
Target the entire .NET platform
Concentrate on other technologies but are also interested in .NET

INETA is the next evolution in user group communities - a non-profit, independent organization, chartered with supporting all user groups interested in the Microsoft .NET platform. INETA is run by a board of user group leaders, elected by their peers, and supported by Microsoft Corporation and other sponsors.
