Get-PSUGUK September Meeting
By Adam Bell | September 19, 2007
Last night was the User Group meeting for PowerShell UK, hosted at Clark’s Legal in Reading.
Richard covered two topics: “PowerShell and SQL”, and “PowerShell and Exchange 2007″. I don’t have much to do with either product so I found the sessions quite interesting.
After some technical-tinkering we even managed to get Live Meeting working so that you could attend in virtual presence if a physical one was a bit challenging. This was announced pretty late in the day, but we still had a couple of people connect in This should be fully operational for the November meeting so that should offer people much more flexibility if they want to see what these things are about! Thanks Steve!
After the meeting we had a conversation on the meetings format, location etc going forwards. I’ve had people say that they’ve been unable to attend due to them being held in Reading. We discussed alternative venues, and I think Richard’s going to investigate what level of interest there is for a central London meeting.
In an effort to promote the group more, Steve has (foolishly?) volunteered to try and encourage vendors/sponsors/anyone to provide swag to promote their PowerShell related products. This seemed to work really well in the last meeting when PowerGadgets offered full version of their product to attendees. It’s an easy PR win for the company and as a bonus we get something to play with :)
As a final note, I’ve confirmed with Richard that I will present a small session in the November meeting. I’ve not put anything together yet, but the topic will be “Managing Group Policy with PowerShell”. A new thing for me, but I figure it’s time to step outside of my comfort zone.
Given the choice (and obviously your geographical challenges) where would you prefer a UG meeting – London, Reading, Live Meeting?
