+1 for XDDN. +1 for more focus on design.

Subject: Re: Build
Earlier this year I sent out a newsletter, saying that I'd made the
decision to change the Melbourne SDDN group to be a XAML usergroup, to
cover Silverlight + Windows phone (+ WPF).
For me there was enough crossover to stop it being an exclusively
Silverlight usergroup.
My plans for the rest of the year were to have a lot more generic design
sessions, such as more examples of a design workflow, the creative
process, etc. I figured there should be more "DESIGN" focus since it is
in the usergroup's name (SDDN).
Now with build, I'll definitely having WinRT XAML sessions (in fact,
that's what this month's Melbourne talk is on).
For me, the SDDN has evolved into being a usergroup focused on cutting
edge Microsoft UI frameworks, and the design philosophies behind UI/UX.
I guess the only issue is the name.
I had kept the SDDN name only for the brand recognition.
My suggestion? We rebrand SDDN to XDDN. Which could mean "XAML Design &
Developer Network" or with the X meaning anything if you want to include
HTML5 (like the XMUG run by thoughtworks).

Hey all,
So most people have probably absorbed the stuff shown at BUILD and so I
thought I'd kick off a new thread and see what people think. (I'm yet to
spend any time watching videos but have read a few blog posts about it)
A couple of things spring to mind. Silverlight will soon be (if not
already) legacy code. I liked the quote I saw somewhere "The rumours of
my death have been greatly exaggerated. - Silverlight"
Being a developer/designer/devigner, I think its great that XAML will be
available for C++, HTML5 and .Net. I'm wondering if it's time to
rebadge/rename/reinvent the SDDN user group. I'm thinking XUG would be a
good name. (Or perhaps XUGXUG, said in the voice of a peon from warcraft
3 - pronounced Zug-zug).
thoughts?
Go.
