The Windows Server 2008 User Group for Ireland (WS-UGI) has been launched and yours truly is the leader of the group! <\/p>\n
This user group will be a cooperative community where members will help each other develop skills and share experiences of the Windows Server 2008 product and related solutions.\u00a0 We\u2019ll accomplish this via an online presence and by hosting seminars across Ireland on a regular basis. <\/p>\n
Although it is sponsored by Microsoft, it is my intention that this group will have an independent voice.\u00a0 This is pretty important because I don\u2019t want people to see the group as a marketing machine. It certainly isn\u2019t going to be that.\u00a0 We will be creating an atmosphere where contributions and questions are welcome from all members. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve launched a blog<\/a> for communications.\u00a0 On there you will see that we have announced our first of what will be many seminars.\u00a0 These will be free.\u00a0 The first seminar is scheduled to be in Dublin on March 12th at 19:30, the day after the Irish launch of Windows Server 2008.\u00a0 This will give people an opportunity to attend the Microsoft event and then bring questions to our event.\u00a0 We are hoping to have a very special guest who will be in a superb position to answer those questions.\u00a0 Attendance will, of course, be free. More details on location (central) and seminar contents will be announced as soon as possible. <\/p>\n We\u2019ll continue to have seminars on a regular basis.\u00a0 We\u2019ll have access to speakers from within Microsoft but I really would like to get members to contribute as much as possible.\u00a0 The venue will give members the opportunity to market themselves either as representatives of their organisation or personally for career advancement.\u00a0 And contact me if you do have a blog or online content related to Windows Server 2008.\u00a0 We\u2019ll link to you and your content and hopefully give you a few more hits. Maybe you even have a success story that you\u2019d like to share?\u00a0 If so, jot it down and we\u2019ll be happy to let the world know. <\/p>\n Check out the blog<\/a>.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be updating it as often as possible.\u00a0 Send us an email to ws-ugi<at>live.com if you on that address if you\u2019re interested in doing a little more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Windows Server 2008 User Group for Ireland (WS-UGI) has been launched and yours truly is the leader of the group!
