Events

In response to requests from co-op developers for additional training and networking opportunities, CoopZone has begun to host a series of training/networking conference calls which commenced on February 15, 2007. The calls take place the third Thursday of most months and last for 1.5 hours with the option for an additional 30 minutes. The calls are only open to developer members of CoopZone and focus on developer skills and issues. The telephone costs of the participants are covered by CoopZone.
