AN INVITATION TO BECOME ENGAGED Please join us May 11-13 at the Clarion Hotel in Northampton, MA for a weekend FileMaker in Education "Un-conference" - an open-format discussion and idea-sharing event for developers, evangelists and users, focused on solutions and challenges for the education and non-profit market. This is an open event to all that have interest in this topic. Please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues, friends and other FMP users and developers. You can go to our website http://www.inresonance.com/unconference for a link to the event Wiki that also outlines travel information and suggested hotels in the area. The meeting will run from 6:00 PM on Friday, May 11 and end at noon on Sunday. The cost for this event is only $75, to defray costs for meals and refreshments. This low-cost Meeting of the Minds is being hosted by inRESONANCE in order to provide a space to network, and to share experiences, ideas, energy and even frustrations with other users, developers and visionaries. Help someone with their FileMaker challenges, and get help on yours, while meeting and expanding your network of contacts and pros. The Un-conference format means that there are no set presentations or pre-determined sessions. You contribute to the agenda by submitting topics online via the Wiki starting on April 24. The Un-conference format has been successfully used by the open-source community to drive real conversations and get real results and feedback for the actual work developers are doing.
