I was scheduled to speak @ the Richmond.NET User Group's December meeting on last Thursday. Around 40+ people showed up for the meeting including Kevin Hazzard and Justin Etheredge.

Decent crowd showed up (40+) and I had fun speaking about IIS 7.0 and its integration with ASP.NET. I am making the slides available on this blog; I hope that would help.
