Omaha .NET User Group July Meeting
Fellow .NET Users,
As I write my intro to each month's meeting, I am usually trying to limit my commentary to just a few announcements in order to not overwhelm you. I find myself in a weird predicament of not having anything to announce. There are a few virtual conferences coming up, but they're still a few months out. If you have any announcements, send me an email or a contact me on Slack and I would be happy to add them here.
We're still planning to hold our meetings virtually and will continue to do so until our hosts, sponsors, guests, and health officials tell us they're ready for us to start meeting in person again. Our sponsor for this month's meeting is planning to giveaway 4 $50 Amaon gift cards. As in previous months, we'll be giving these away in our Slack channel. Details will be provided in the #general channel about an hour before the meeting starts.
Join us on Thursday, July 30th at around 5:30 in the Slack channel to start chatting with others about what's been happening just like we would before a "normal" meeting. At about 6:00 we'll start the meeting. Throughout the presentation, I would encourage you to ask questions in either the Slack channel or in the YouTube stream chat. Brian and I will be watching these comments as they come in and communicating those to our presenter.
Host:YouTube

We'll start the stream around 5:55 and then start the meeting right around 6:00 PM. This will be an interactive session. You can participate by contributing to the stream comments on YouTube or on our Slack workspace.
