I’ve been attending Microsoft’s Windows Server 2008 ("Longhorn") Academy every month since mid summer here in Dublin to learn more about this new product.\u00a0 The sessions were run by Microsoft’s Dave Northey<\/a> and were very succesful.\u00a0 At the end, Dave announced that he wanted to establish a user group using people from the academy that were interested.\u00a0 He looked for volunteers to join and a leader.\u00a0 Muggins here volunteered to lead and it was all said and done after a show of hands.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
So, what’s the mission?<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
My aim is to get people interested in the product, how it can make their jobs easier and how it can solve business problems.\u00a0 The most common question we’re going to hear is "Why should I deploy Windows 2008?".\u00a0 There’s lots of good reasons and I intend to not only share them but have experts demonstrate real world problems and solutions.\u00a0 We’ll grow the group steadily and bring it on tour around the country to make it more accessibe.\u00a0 There will be a managed online presence where people can interact and continue the learning, teaching and sharing\u00a0process.\u00a0 And I think there might just be one or two pints drank along the way \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
If this sounds like it might be of interest to you then give me a shout (website <at> highwaycsl.com).\u00a0 I’m going to be kicking this thing into high gear next month and I’m really looking forward to seeing the group membership grow in numbers and in influence.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
More details will follow pretty soon!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
