There's another NYC .NET Developer's Group meeting coming up this week.
As of now, I'm probably going to be attending. I haven't made one in awhile with my classes. If anyone else in the NYC area is planning on going (Sam, Don, etc) let me know. We should definitely get together for drinks again.
On a related note - if anyone wants to do a NYC blogger dinner or something, let me know. I have no classes until Jan 12th, so now would be a great time :)
Date: Thursday, December 18, 2003. Reception @ 6:00 PM , Program @ 6:15 PM

Subject**:
Identity management is important to organizations as they extend their networks to include partners, suppliers, and customers. As application architects and developers we need to understand what identity management initiatives Microsoft is pursuing and how application authentication, authorization, and personalization strategies intersect with identity management. This session will introduce Microsoft identity management direction and analyze the impact and options for application developers. We will look at specific features released with Windows 2003 server and .NET consumption of those features.
