We've got some great community leaders in our neck of the woods.  I am going to a Code Camp set up for this Saturday, and we've been having frequent, and quality speakers come in for phillydotnet.  I've met a number of very cool people through these events, but it has occurred to a few of us, that the one thing missing is some solid peer to peer networking opportunities. 

My friend Marc Ziss has already started to tackle the problem in the best way he knows how.  Pub Night.  Cheers to Z.  I'm definitely looking forward to it.

I'm hoping to complement this new focus, by way of the Philadelphia .Net Users group on yahoo.  The idea is to allow us all to communicate about relevant topics at any time, rather than just at specific, physical events.  The idea has worked well for some of my friends back in Arizona, and so I figured it was time we gave it a shot. 

So I'm hoping we'll all sign up, and then be able to support one another during our day to day working lives.  The expectation is that we'll all get to know one another better, get answers/input from people we know and trust, and further strengthen our community.

If you have any ideas on how this could be further augmented and leveraged for all of our betterment, please post it to the group!
