Interview with Chris Chodnicki and Kevin Schreiner from R2integrated discussing Open Web Studio (OWS).

Recorded on the 13th of August 2008, Chris and Kevin talk us through Open Web Studio and some of its key features as well as offering some tips on DotNetNuke in general.

Live video interview presentation with Dave Snow from Aging Safely Inc. This is a live walk through of Dave’s DotNetNuke website. Dave is a subscriber to DNN Creative Magazine. He has taken the CSS skinning tutorials and applied some of the principles to his own skins while also adapting the CSS to suit his own needs.

Dave’s site is interesting in that it implements a pure CSS skin along with some interesting use of 3rd party modules, so I thought it would be good to do a video interview with Dave and ask him to walk us through his DotNetNuke website. This video goes into the full detail of looking through the modules and skins on the website as an administrator.

Interview at the DotNetNuke OpenForce 07 conference in Las Vegas. At the end of one of the presentations people were hanging about so I went over to Malik, Tracy and Alex who were sat on the floor to get a background about them and how they use DotNetNuke. At this point I finished the interview as I just wanted to get an introduction to some of the business community in DotNetNuke. Of course we then carried on the conversation and it turned into Tracy interviewing myself about CSS skinning, so I started recording again as I thought it would be interesting to have a listen to, Brad then came over and we also covered other elements such as localization and OpenForce. This was the good thing about OpenForce, lots of conversations hearing how people are implementing DotNetNuke for their own businesses.

Interview at the DotNetNuke OpenForce07 conference in Las Vegas. Kelly was the last interview of the conference. I had been trying to find Kelly throughout the whole conference and we finally got the chance to meet and have a good chat at the end of the last presentation. We were the last two people left in the presentation room and it was a good way to finish the OpenForce event.
