Your preferred .NET Content Management solution?

And why?

I need a CM solution that supports events [1] and generating Web feeds from
the events --or-- has these as base features I can work with and refine
using C# of course

[1] like entertainment events, meetings and so on.

Sharepoint?

SharePoint would be one of my first choices too if I could run it locally
without the costly server license. Do you use it Scott?

I have only used it peripherally. It's such a bohemath of a product and you
can do so much with it that I haven't jumped into the pool on it yet. But,
if you are interested in using Sharepoint (or any other MS development
product) with valid licenses for free, Microsoft does have a program that
provides a 3 year FREE MSDN Premium Subscription with Visual Studio Team
System Team Suite. You can read more about it at:
http://Microsoft.com/Bizspark. There are just 4 requirements:

You must be a company that is less than 3 years old.
Your company must be making less than 1 million in revenue.
You must have a company website.
Your company must be privately held.

This program is great for independent consultants and contractors.

I am going to do just that already having been registered with a Network
Partner as soon as I learned BizSpark was available. Furthermore, the late
comer WebsiteSpark is too light-weight in comparison to an MSDN subscription
that being what is really so useful to help ensure a software development
startup can crack through the high failure rates.

I've done plenty of search and have that link in my Favorites folder. I've
even used a couple of known resources already which is why I am hoping to
get some real hands-on comments from developers who have hands-on.

Scott's reminder that SharePoint is now available with BizSpark is a real
motivating factor.
