Smartphone Thoughts: OpenNetCF Launch Developer Community Website

"Since its inception, OpenNETCF has been all about community. We know that developers alone can create software, but an active developer community is what allows us as developers to leverage what has already been done by others and to strengthen the environment in which we work. The intent of this site is to facilitate that sense of community and to help you as a developer meet your customer's needs, regardless of who that customer might be or what the needs entail. While OpenNETCF Consulting and the OpenNETCF name itself are strongly associated to the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework, this site is not targeted solely to Compact Framework developers. We hope that this site provides useful content to all developers that are creating software that either runs on or interfaces with Windows Embedded devices, whether they are Windows CE, Windows Mobile or Micro Framework-based."

The gang at OpenNetCF have just launched a new community site. The site provides hosting for open source projects, technical articles and white papers relevant to developers with the Windows Embedded and Windows Mobile platforms, as well as a monthly coding competition. Septembers coding competition is all about Visually Stunning User Interfaces. You could win a copy of Visual Studio 2005 and a Windows Mobile device! That's a pretty cool collection of prizes. I've added the RSS feed to my collection and I'll be watching this site closely.
