While I was teaching MDOP last week in Washington DC, 1 of the attendees who is also an analyst and consultant expressed an interest in how we leverage User Groups and Study Groups. I shared our model with him and how this came to be as a result of some partnerships between executives of the different cities in Canada.
Jason Langone, a pioneer of the VMWare user group in the Washington DC area was equally interested in seeing a user/study group get created for the equivalent Microsoft technologies.
