Mission

The DNNUGNL exists to help the members of the Dutch DotNetNuke community. The group is a non-partisan means for users to get the information they need about DotNetNuke. Its main objectives are thus to:

• Keep members up-to-date on DotNetNuke and related products, events, and news.
  
• Allow members to remain aware of changing technologies.
  
• Listen to the input of members and change the group accordingly.
  
• Enable members to meet and interact with other members and vendors.

Presenters

Presenters are chosen for the meetings based on their product's strength and how it might apply to DotNetNuke-related products. The presentation does not have to be DotNetNuke related and can also be more generic, provided it will apply to the general interest of the group.

Communication with Members
To communicate with members, DNNUGNL uses its Website at http://netherlands.dnn-usergroup.net and our E-newsletter.

Unbiased User Group

One of the main purposes of DNNUGNL is to allow members to get an unbiased view of the DotNetNuke community. The group is not part of any company -- it is a volunteer group whose purpose is to benefit the Dutch DotNetNuke community. DNNUGNL members and officers are bound by the basic rule of the group: Use the networking time for exchange of whatever information you find appropriate. At no time will a recruiting or otherwise too sales-oriented presentation be allowed during meetings. This applies to recruiters, salespersons, and all others. Vendors doing presentations are allowed to incorporate their product into their presentations though it should be kept to a minimum.

Networking

One of the main reasons of the user group is to allow members to meet other members. While the group does not support marketing, recruiting, or other biased presentations during the meetings, the networking time can be used as the users see fit. Members are encouraged to get to know other members of the Informix community and exchange information.

Recruiting

Recruiting and/or soliciting for employee's is discouraged at DNNUGNL meetings. Please refrain from these activities as they are detrimental to the purpose and focus of the group, which is learning about DotNetNuke, not how you or your company may size up potential employers or employees. Thank You! Of course, what you do outside of the meetings is your choice. (Note that doesn't imply that you can set up a recruiting table down the hall from the meeting.)

Mailing Lists

DNNUGNL firmly believes in protecting the privacy of its members. The E-mail list will never be given to anyone that is not an officer at DNNUGNL (unless some information is needed for entrance to a meeting site). Further, any officer can use the list for DNNUGNL business only.
