First .Net User Group in Mississippi Forms in Hattiesburg, MS

Posted by Keith Elder | Posted in .Net | Posted on 07-05-2008

Hattiesburg, MS, locally referred to as the Hub City, is officially forming a .Net User Group called the Hub City Nug for short.  Hattiesburg, voted as one of the top cities to live in in years past, is strategically located near the pan handle in South Mississippi only one hour from the Gulf of Mexico.  Aubrey Cote of http://forteonline.com and myself are forming the group.  Other surrounding states have multiple .Net groups and it is exciting to see such an interest in technology in the Hattiesburg area.  We expect to coordinate some larger events in the up and coming year due to our centralized location near many larger cities including Mobile, AL, Jackson, MS and New Orleans, LA.  The group is in the early stages of organizing but we hope to start having meetings as early as June.
