Great meeting!
Thank-you to everyone who attended! We TRIPLED our attendance from our last meeting and had six new folks who had never attended a user group meeting.
The Hardware-Independent Imaging topic generated a lot of really good discussion, and Derek Peter's walkthrough of the Symantec Management Platform migration tool was excellent and timely.
We had a PILE of food delivered from Jason's deli along with cookies, iced tea, lemonade, and cold soft drinks.
We are gathering content for the August meeting. If you have any ideas for topics you'd like to see more information on (how-tos, specific product walk-throughs, etc), let us know!
Hey Doug, Do you know when
Hey Doug,
Do you know when the presentation material from the meeting will be made available? Or has it already been made available? Thanks.

Hi Guys,
I didn't attend this event, but I would love to read the slides that you used.
I'm just about to do a huge upgrade here in Australia and would like to hear your experiences.
Cheers,
Dave
