The first Oz VAN kicked off tonight, and it turned out to be quite a bit of fun.
We started out with a bit of an intro by those who were there, and then let the conversation lead off to wherever it felt like it, covering things such as software craftsmanship, attitudes to development, AOP and other things.
If you couldn't make it, don't panic - we recorded it just for you! So, feel free to view it and help others by tagging the sections you think are interesting.

The Australian Alt.Net Community is a self-organizing, ad-hoc community of developers bound by a desire to improve ourselves, challenge assumptions, and help each other pursue excellence in the practice of software development, obviously with a strong emphasis on development using the Microsoft.NET platform.
Though the name might suggest otherwise we are not looking for alternatives to Microsoft or .NET, nor are we in any way Anti-Microsoft.
The "Alt" in Alt.Net comes from the fact that we are always looking at alternatives to see if there are better ways of doing things no matter where that alternative might come from. So if it's something new from Microsoft, that's great - if it's an approach from the open source world or an alternate language or somewhere else entirely then that's great too.
