Kudos to Will Strohl for the countless hours he put in to organize the Day of DotNetNuke event held in Tampa, FL today. Thanks to the sponsors, speakers and volunteers who made the day a huge success.

The official count for the day verified by Microsoft host Joe Healy was 138. Joe was a great host making everyone comfortable and he also was one of the speakers. Yes, Microsoft does love DotNetNuke! Joe would make a great WROX salesperson as he was trying to sell the WROX Professional DotNetNuke 5 book that I coauthored along with Floridians Darrel Hardy, Stan Schultes, Ryan Morgan, and Canadian Shaun Walker.

There was much to learn about DotNetNuke 5 and favorite 3rd party modules during the day. Gifford Watkins from Atlantic Webfitters traveled from Nova Scotia to speak at the event.

It was great to see everyone and a special thanks to DotNetNuke Corporation for sending Joe Brinkman to give the Official/Unofficial DotNetNuke State of the Union Address.

I'm glad I was part of the event!

You were there in spirit! I plugged your website and all the great things you do during my talk!

@Michael : I wanted to do things like that, but with our short timeline this year, some things had to be left out.  Thanks for the suggestion though.  Next year will be even better than this year.  Make sure to clear out June 2010 on your calendar. :)

@Brian : THanks for all of your blogging and presenting at the Day of DotNetNuke®.  You're the man!
