The Portland Silverlight User Group is hosting its first meeting on Tuesday, December 8, 2009, and they are starting off with a big splash. Scott Stanfield, CEO of Vertigo Software, will be the speaker for the inaugural meeting. If you are not familiar with Vertigo, they designed the Silverlight-powered websites for the Hard Rock Cafe, the 2010 Winter Olympics for NBC, the 2009 Presidential Inauguration for CBS, and Sunday Night Football for NBC. Scott is also a Microsoft Regional Director, very cool.

The user group meeting is at the Fiserv Cafe (formerly the Corillian Cafe), 3400 NW John Olsen Place, Hillsboro, OR, 97214. The evening starts with pizza and networking at 6:00 PM, with the presentation at 6:30 PM. Afterwards there will be socializing at the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse.

Congratulations to Erik Mork and Kelly White for starting the Portland Silverlight User Group. See you there.
