As we have seen a dramatic decline in interest and attendance in The Chicago Silverlight Users Group over the past few months, we have decieded to put the the group on hiatus for the time being.
With all the announcements about Winows 8 at the Microsoft Build conference this past week, there have been a lot of questions around the future of Silverlight as a brand, WPF and where XAML fits into the development of Metro-style apps and Windows Phone 7.
In the meantime, we are encouraging our members to attend and get involved in other related groups including The Chicago Windows Phone Developer Group and The Chicago .NET Users Group.
We'll keep everyone informed as the future of this user group takes place.
