At the last NIMTUG meeting, the conversation touched briefly on the subject of Continuous Integration. For the past 3 or 4 months I've been undertaking the role of Configuration Manager which involved taking source from the developers and turning it to releases for differnet environments. This has given me the chance to automate alot of the work that I need to do using tools such as CruiseControl.Net and NAnt.
I've been toying with the idea of maybe doing this as a NIMTUG 'demo' style talk, however in the mean time to get it published form I've started a series of articles published here.
Part 1 covers the introduction and a description of the tools used. You can read the article here

I don't know how many people use the feature that Communuty Server gives us a members, so I'll start blogging about them.
Well a good place to start is the Blogging feature. If you are a member of NIMTUG and wish to start blogging then drop Damien or myself a email and we'll get you setup.
We know that a few of the members already have blogs. There's a couple of ways that we can get your blogs syndicated on to the site.
Firstly we can add your blog to the NIMTUG blog roller. This is very simular to the NIMTUG home page where it shows the latest blogs from the NIMTUG members but from thoses which Damien and myself have setup. We would like to flag some of these blogs so they will appear on the front page, I think Damien is writing a modification of CS to do this and once he puts up the source centrally, I'll be able to help ![Wink [;)]](/emoticons/emotion-5.gif)
The other way is that if your Blogging application supports it you can post blogs to other sites. This is called cross-posting, most of the popular blogging application support one or more 'Blogging APIs' which are bascially web services. This allows you maintain one blog, but post to as many as you want.
