We have started a new Microsoft Users group in Calicut today (22-06-2008). We didn’t get much time for advertising before the meet, still we got 13 members for the first meeting. Thanks to viable technologies for providing meeting venue with LCD projector and tea 
I started with the introduction of Users Group and it needs. Based on the feedbacks from members, I didn’t take the sessions which I planned. Instead I took sessions on introduction to Expression Studio, Bled, Design, Media, Encoder etc and demo of silverlight application.
Later we had Q&A sessions, and created some sample projects related to Web services and its usage in win forms.
Thanks to Abhishek Kant, Pradipta and Jadeja (Microsoft India) for their support. Microsoft had given VS 2008 CDs and Books for our UG and We have started the C-mug library with 11 books. We have distributed the CDs to the participants, and collected their feedbacks.
Our site is still under construction (http://k-mug.org), hopefully we will finish the web site work before next session.
