For you developers and wanna-be Esri developers, take note of the Esri Dev Meetup series of events scheduled for various locations around the country from Sept 2010 – May 2011. Events kick off in L.A and Washington D.C with more events throughout the winter, many coinciding with other events. Events of interest to me should it be possible to fit into the travel plans include Oct 20 meet in Fort Collins, Colorado (should be a great event since its on GIS Alley!) and Oct 21 in Denver, Colorado – Find an event near you at http://www.esri.com/events/dev-meetup/index.html
