DNN OpenForce Season Kicks Off with Call for Speakers
In preparation for the 3rd annual conference for DotNetNuke developers, designers, administrators or anybody else with an interested in the web application framework, Joe Brinkman reaches out to the community with a call for speakers.
I had the opportunity to speak and exhibit at the event last year and mingling with like-minded DNN folks was a great deal of fun. Remember, this is not meant to be a “geeks only” show, but rather a community gathering looking to pair known DNN veterans with fresh faces. Having said that, get your act together and submit your session ideas by May 8, 2009!
What else is happening with and around DotNetNuke? Let’s see:
- Speaking of speakers, as Will Strohl hinted on, the Day of DotNetNuke opens its call for speakers tomorrow, May 2, 2009. Events like this are a great way to hone your speaking skills.
- Nik Kalyani, Director of Products and Strategy, aims to rectify DNN Corp’s recent communication blunders in regards to its business model and the project’s roadmap for the 5.1 release.
- Not sure how I missed the DotNetNuke webinars, but I did. If you are new to the web application framework, these are worth your time.
- Brandon Haynes releases a DNN Multi-Factor Authentication Provider, which “allows a host to configure enhanced authentication (including SMS, SMTP, YubiKey, and X.509 certificates) for any number and combination of portal roles.” Very interesting and a great exploitation of the provider model.
- Engage, the official DotNetNuke training partner, introduces instructor-led, Virtual Classroom with a free webinar-style session entitled “Introduction to DotNetNuke.” I stuck my head into the webinar last week and was impressed. Grab your seat here.
- The master of DNN Urls, Bruce Chapman, publishes the ultimate guide to Understanding DotNetNuke Friendly Urls and Url Rewriting for SEO. Great read.
- Still struggling with CSS-based layouts in your DNN skinning efforts? Then you may want to give YAML or DNNGrid960 a try. And here is a detailed look at the 960 CSS framework.
- Erik van Ballegoij releases and update to Apollo PageLocalization and blogs about caching in DNN 5.
- The jQuery JavaScript library is all the rage these days. And in a timely manner, Will Strohl provides 7 jQuery tips for DotNetNuke Developers.
- Working hard on new DNN skinning documentation, Timo Breumelhof posts a "Beta" of the skin objects tables. Help him out here.
That wraps up this week’s news. Again, I encourage you to “speak up” and submit your session to both the Day of DotNetNuke and OpenForce 09 North America. See you there!
