National Day of Give Camp—Remember to Claim Offers Early!

If you're organizing an upcoming Give Camp, remember you need to arrange for some offers (like hosting redemption codes) in advance. During the weekend, the development teams can claim other offers in time to go live, but it's still best if these are claimed in advance, too. Speaking of the offers available, I've put together a tipsheet with an overview of the offers from ComponentOne, Kentico CMS and DiscountASP.NET.

ComponentOne is on the sheet for obvious reasons, but I also wanted to highlight a few other partners I can vouch for. I first used Kentico several years ago for some user group sites, and it's an incredible CMS. I'm putting together some blog posts showing how ComponentOne components can be used with Kentico (the first is online at to make some really useful sites. I'll continue to build the scheduler example with Thom Robbins (Kentico's evangelist) to make a really good example for future Give Camps. I've used DiscountASP.NET as a host because I host my personal and a few client sites with them, and I've been very pleased over the years. I really like their service offerings and control panel.

If you're a user group leader and need a site for the user group, Kentico and Applied Innovations have an offer for you, too-check out http://www.kentico.com/asp-net-cms-dng.aspx. AppliedI is another Give Camp partner I've hosted a number of sites with, and I give them a strong recommendation, too.
