We've confirmed our January speaker, Chris Hefley, and the topic.  Chris will be speaking on Continuous Integration using JetBrains TeamCity.

TeamCity, the new Continuous Integration application from JetBrains (the people that brought you ReSharper) provides easily configurable continuous integration, advanced reporting and metrics, and integration with Visual Studio (and It's free for small teams). This presentation will cover installing and configuring TeamCity and connecting it to source control, with examples using various build runners (MSBuild, NAnt, and Rake) to build .Net applications. We'll also cover NUnit integration, artifact generation, and configuring notifications. We'll show you how to troubleshoot broken builds, run the .Net duplicate finder build, Visual Studio integration, and how to use TeamCity as an automated deployment tool.

Our meeting this month will be on Thursday, January 15th at our new location, the Brentwood Library off Concord Rd.  I need to confirm the time for the room, so I'll post another update this week.
