Below I have provided a variety of material/links from my presentation last night - “The Current State of Package Management in .NET”. Please feel free to contact me using any of the communication channels available in the right column of my blog. I would happy to provide any further information regarding Nu or OpenWrap, or just to discuss your thoughts on the topic of package management.
I want to thank everyone that battled the weather last night to make it to the presentation. I really enjoyed my first opportunity to present at an ALT.NET event. Also, thanks to Matthew Podwysocki for allowing me to speak last night. I believe I’ve included everything below that I discussed last night. If you take time to review the slideshow, I’d recommended using one of the two links below the embedded slideshow as they contain the speaker notes with a lot of information.

both links offer speaker notes with more information
Gem Creation Example
I showed how to use Nu to download and install packages, as well as how to actually create a Ruby gem that can be utilized with Nu. Below are the links to the PagedList project before refactoring for gem creation and after I modified the project.
